Howardsville Christian School WEEKLY NEWSLETTER February 18, 2016 PROGRESS REPORTS - will be going home today with those students doing unsatisfactory work in one or more subject areas.

Parents of Drama Students Students need to arrive at the church by 4:30 p.m. to get into costume and makeup for Saturday's performance. Please have your son/daughter bring 2 dozen cookies for the refreshments and a snack to share at the after party. The after party will go from 9:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m. during which time we will strike the set, eat pizza and snacks, and watch the video of the play. Please contact Mrs. Jones if you have any questions. Parents of Band Students A.C.S.I. recently sent me some changes for the band festival after I had already sent home the final letter. The changes are as follows: We will need to leave at 10:45 a.m., so please do not order pizza for your son/daughter for that day. Instead, please send a sack lunch that he/she can eat on the way. Also, they changed the dress code for the concert. Students must wear black pants or a long black skirt with a solid white or solid black top. They are supposed to wear black socks and shoes also if possible. Boys are not supposed to wear ties. I have a collection of white shirts and black pants of various sizes. If your son/daughter needs one, have them see me to try them on. I apologize for the last minute changes and hope that this is not a big inconvenience for anyone. If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Jones. HOOP SHOOT – The Hoop Shoot Committee is looking for businesses or families that would be willing to donate to Hoop Shoot and to the athletic department.

If you have any questions feel free to contact the office or Mr. Bishop at tbishop@hcseagles.com or if you are willing to donate please drop your donation off at the school office. Thank You!
