Patrick Henry Marching Band
2008 Field Show Full Dress Rehersal
4th of July at the Lake Murray Festival!!!

Patrick Henry Instrumental Music & Color Guard Families, Come join in our first general fundraiser for the 2009-2010 school year. We are collecting trash and recycling from 12noon to 10pm and we need your help. The kids who help out will get credit for working one of their required general fund raisers for the year. We will have five 2 hour shifts.  Incoming Freshman are welcome to participate!

We need one parent during each shift to drive the golf cart and kids to collect the trash/recycling. We also need kids at the trailer sorting through the recycling.  If you can help us for any of the following shifts, let us know. The more help we have in each slot, the easier the work will be.

Thank you in advance for your help. We look forward to hearing from you at our email addresses below:

* AB 351 for PE Credit a victim of ANOTHER delay tactic!

Dear AB 351 Fans,
 
The opposition thinks we have packed up and gone home for the summer. We need to let them know that's not the case, as soon as possible. 

AB 351 is being deliberately held back in the Committee on Education. We have the votes to pull AB 351 out of Committee, but the Chair is refusing to put it on the agenda. 
Read the rest of the story

We absolutely need your help with advocacy.
