TODAY IS LAST CALL FOR DRUMLINE T-SHIRTS. WE ARE STILL SLIGHTLY UNDER THE 12 REQUIRED TO DO A REORDER, so we could definitely use a few more orders, or all orders that I have in right now will have to be returned. Please let me know in the comments here or feel free to send an email to [email protected] TODAY if you are still wanting one of these, and I can get with you on how to get your order from you. Remember payment must be included for me to do the order. Thank you!

First Grade and T-1 enjoyed a trip to the Lindsay Public Library! We had so much fun learning about what it takes to be a librarian and all the wonderful things a public library has to offer. We even got to listen to a neat story about animal homes. Definitely go get your library card! 📚💳📖
We practiced our green thumbs in Kindergarten this week with our mystery science lesson. We are germinating radish seeds.
Since we debuted our new drumline shirts Friday night, we have had overwhelming interest and requests for a public order of our t-shirts. If you would like to order a shirt and support your Longhorn drumline, order forms will be in the office for the next week. I would like to get the order placed by next Tuesday, the 20th. If we do that, shirts should be arriving somewhere right around the 1st of October. We need to get an order of 12 to be able to do a reorder. Shirts will be $23 with $5 extra for anything XL and up. I will need to have the money with the order in order to order your shirts, so please turn in your payment with your order form before next Tuesday to the HS office or you can send it straight to me with your student. Please make checks payable to the Alex Schools Music Activity Fund. Thank you for your support!
