Snowdown 2010

From our Snowdown Coordinator, Julie Harrison:

Thanks to everyone that was able to dig themselves out and bring their kids over to work on the float yesterday [Saturday]! We are making great progress, just a few odds and ends to tie up. A few things I would like to request:

If your student is going to be part of the float on Friday, please send 2-3 bags of candy with them to school to pass out to the crowd if you can. We will be bringing the float to school on Friday afternoon. Students are welcome to go downtown with the float so if your student would like to do that, make sure they bring their “beachwear” with them to school so they can change there. The Parade will start at 6:00pm with one big-boom firework on Friday, January 29th, 2010. Please make sure your student is downtown with AHS in the float staging area by 5:30 PM!

Also, if you have any beach appropriate type props (umbrellas, beach balls, coolers, swim masks, etc.) please bring them down to the school by Friday.You can retrieve your students at the end of the parade unless other arrangements have been made and you have made Michael aware of them. We won't release students without knowing where they are going or with who they are leaving with. Please allow time for your child to help disassemble the float before they leave Friday night. Remember, parents and siblings are welcome to join us in the fun if you so desire! Please contact juliebird5@yahoo.com if you have questions or concerns. Thanks again for all your support!
