Band News
A Message from Amy Gurski: The PTSA at Smart is collecting used red music uniform polos to donate to families that may struggle to purchase one. Several families have requested assistance, and I was asked to coordinate the effort. I’m reaching out to the Band, Orchestra and Choir directors to see if we can have a collection box at Northern. Donations will also be accepted at Smart and my home, 704 W Commerce Rd.
