- ABSENCES – must be cleared through your director! Please complete a paper copy of the form and give to your director. The deadline for filling out this form (online or paper) is August 28th.
- If you are interesting in driving for Tag Day on September 9th, contact Amy Freeman ([email protected]). WE NEED LOTS OF DRIVERS! ALL DRIVERS need to be fingerprinted. The Fingerprint Form is also online as well and you would just take that form to the Board of Education and it takes only a few minutes for that process. Please consider giving a few hours of your time to help make this the best Tag Day Ever!!! It is very much appreciated

Service Crew Help Needed
Our competition show this year will require lots of hand on deck for the service crew to assist with props being taken on and off the field as well as assembly at each location. We’d love to have some more help!!! Be a part of this great volunteer bunch and see first hand all the hard work that goes into our shows and get involved! We understand work schedules and conflicts , that’s why we need anyone and everyone to sign up as we have Friday & Saturday games, weekend competitions that vary in times, plus the crew gets together during the week to help with construction. Please contact Anthony Yanni at [email protected] with any questions you have or to sign up. Please remember, all of our volunteers must be printed through Mentor Schools and the Fingerprint form link is above in the tag day section.
Last Call for Spirit Wear
We will take one last batch of spirit wear orders to our vendor. These orders must be received no later than Friday, August 25th, 2017. No orders will be accepted after that date.
