This was the toughest year yet to choose leaders. A lot of the decision was based on behavior of the previous season. I think this is going to be a really good year for leaders if everyone keeps their focus on the goals that we set. (more…)

Congratulations to the new 2012-13 SGHS Color Guard!

They were chosen on their performance on the audition, attitude during tryouts, and teacher’s references from classroom behavior.

Good afternoon,

Here are the responsibilities that are needed for next Wednesday and Thursday night. Remember that this event is required for all Concert Band and Wind Ensemble Students.

Parents if you are able to help were I need parents please let me know by email and I will put you on the list. Students will sign up in class today. 

Thank you and I look forward to seeing you soon!

Mrs. Batts

Dinner and a Show time is here!

Our goal is to sell at least 100 dinner tickets.  Remember that sales will continue until Wednesday, February 29th.  If everyone sells at least 2 we should be able to make our goal!

The Color Guard is doing a performance and the Concert Band and Wind Ensemble will be performing a combined concert.

We also need students and parent volunteers to make the event successful. I will send out a sign up list tomorrow.

This year we are doing donations for door prizes differently.  We are making 4 themed gift baskets for a silent auction. We ask that students from each grade level bring in items for the different themes.  Here are the class assignments for the themes. If a student brings in an item for the gift baskets that gives them one free pass on a playing test or practice card!

Freshman: Chocolate Lovers- Anything Chocolate!
Sophomore: Spa- Soaps, Lotions, Bubble Bath, Sponges, Pumice Stones, etc.
Juniors: Automotive- Tool kit, Flash Light, Roadside Emergency Kits, Armor All, Car Wash Liquid, Anything to use to Wash Cars With, etc.
Seniors: Movie Night- Popcorn, Candy, DVDs, Movie Theater Gift Cards, Drinks, etc.
