Mirabeau Park Concert, Wednesay, May 19th

Reminder that the end of the year Mirabeau Park Concert and BBQ will be Wednesday May 19 starting at 5pm. Each person is asked to bring an item. The flyer is on the web site if you are not sure what you need to bring along with your own chairs and drinks. This BBQ is free but it does cost the boosters to rent the park and other costs. We will be doing a pass the hat type of donation like we did last year to help offset some of these cost.

Thanks for your support.

Sam Roderick
Booster President


Update May 20th:

The weather held off just long enough for us to have a wonderful time in the Park. It was fun cooking 200 hamburgers and about 140 hotdogs. We had a tremendous turnout and a great time. I am sorry if you missed it. You missed some good food and a good show by the 5th grade band and our great WV band and Jazz Band.

Thanks to Lamont Cloy and Mark Jackson for helping cook, Mr. Loucks and Mr. Bosch for helping serve, Barry Kivett, Mark Jackson, and other parents that helped haul over band equipment, Janet Stutzman, Pam Hansen for helping clean up, and to all the parents and families that brought the extras.

Thanks!

Saturday - Phone book distribution fund raiser; THURSDAY MEETING

We talked about this fundraiser at the booster meeting. We will be delivering phone books this Saturday.

I would like to have a meeting to get everything set up for Saturday. The meeting is tomorrow Thursday at 6:30pm at West Valley. If nothing else we will just meet in the commons. There were 9 adults that committed to helping with this, but we will take all helpers. The more people we have the faster we can get done. We will have about 1000 phone books to deliver to the houses around West Valley High School.

If you are unable to help as a Parent we will definitely need all the students that can help. Please help remind your student to come to the school on Saturday at 9am to help deliver the books.
We need everyone.

Please respond to this email to let me know you can come to the Meeting on Thursday and can help on Saturday or if you will make sure your student is there.

This money will go to help reduce the cost of the Vancouver trip.

Thanks!
Sam
