<DIV><BR>Dear Band students and parents,<BR><BR>Playathon is planned for Friday
Jan 20 overnight to early Sat Jan 21, 2012. We are planning a very entertaining
event with new activities, music theme hours, door prizes and lots of food, fun
and music. The format of Playathon is different this year, and without the
concerts before and after the event, there will be lots more "play" without the
need to prepare for a performance in this new structure. It should be a
lot of fun. This is also an important opportunity to get pledges
that will earn credits to help reduce the cost of the upcoming spring band
trip. However, we hope all students will plan to attend this fun event
regardless of whether or not they are fundraising for the trip.
I have attached a Playathon pledge form for students to use for collecting
pledges as they visit with extended family and friends this holiday season. Even
small pledges add up quickly! More information and permission slips will be sent
home after the first of the year.<BR><BR>Have a happy holiday season<BR>Jeanette
Natzle, Playathon coordinator</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
