3 Weeks Until Camp

One week until CAMP!!!  (I’m excited, are YOU EXCITED!?)
 
Reminders
-Please be sure to pay Friends of Music if you owe anything.  All questions relating to account balances should be directed to Mrs. Haskins ([email protected])
-The KCSD Activity Fee must be paid by all KENNETT HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS.  The KMS students do not need to pay the $50 fee because they are not registered for the class.  The $50 fee should be made payable to Kennett High School with the memo line: KCSD Activity Fee.  Cash is also accepted.  YOU MUST PAY YOUR ACTIVITY FEE before the end of the first week of camp.  Students who do not pay their activity fee before the end of the first week of camp will be referred to KHS administration.
-Please check the list in the handbook and be sure you are prepared for the first day of camp.  Every student needs a 64oz water jug, sunscreen, bug spray, a pencil, a hat, lunch, and a snack.  You will have much better day if you arrive prepared.

Uniforms
-We have ALL BUT ONE STUDENT FITTED!!!!  Great job getting this done before camp!!!  A special thank Mrs. Huber, Cory, and anyone else who helped!
-Color Guard uniforms are ordered.  We should have them by September 20th(ish).  Delays are always possible.
-The hoods are still TBD.  This will be easier to coordinate when the season begins.  We can come up with a design and make it happen by the middle of September.  If we don’t have the hoods by the Rustin Competition, that’s okay.
 
See you soon!

Mr. Whisler
