Friday Aug. 18 No Dinner. End-of-Camp Performance @ 6pm!
We appreciate your donations. Non-perishable items may be delivered by your student in the morning, or brought by you later in the day. Perishable items need to be delivered to the courtyard outside the BHS bandroom between 4:30 and 4:45pm, to be ready to serve students at 5:00pm.
Please be sure to label items that need to be returned (i.e. coolers, crock pots). These items may be picked up by your student after dinner or at the end of rehearsal. They will be placed on the benches in the courtyard or outside the entrance to the band room hallway.
We are doing our best to accommodate gluten-free and vegetarian needs, but cannot guarantee no cross-contamination. If your child has dietary restrictions not accommodated in the SignUp.com spots, please send them with their own dinner.
We also really need help with Set-up, Serving, and Clean-up for each night.
