Issue 341: 8th Grade Orientation, Shuman Performing Arts Grant, Cookbooks

Booster News

Hello, Booster Families! I hope you're staying warm and dry. We're in the dog days of winter, and I'm beginning to yearn for the promise of spring. How about you?

Coming up on Tuesday, Feb. 26, WLN will be hosting its 8th Grade Orientation. Boosters will have a table there. If you know any 8th grade families who are new to the program, please encourage them to stop by our table for a chat & to sign up for this newsletter.

Our February meeting was brief. There's just not much happening right now that needs our attention. We confirmed that we will be hosting a concession stand during MSBOA Festival and we'll need lots of help and donations for that. We're still looking for someone(s) to take over the Concessions chair role. If there is anyone interested in taking on this job, sooner is better than later so you can shadow our outgoing chairs, Joe & Katy Settecerri. You can let them know if you're interested by sending them an email: jksettecerri@msn.com. Additionally, the role of Booster president will be opening up at the end of next year at the very latest (sooner is better, though!) If you're looking for an opportunity to learn the ropes, let Beth Stockdale know, bstockdale812@comcast.net.

Concessions News

We've learned that our current concessions chairs will be unable to continue in this role. We need someone to step in and take over the mantle from them. It's a big job, but it's very manageable. Please, reach out to Joe & Katy Settecerri if you're interested in learning the ropes with the goal of taking the reins from them, jksettecerri@msn.com.

Shuman Performing Arts Grant!

Each year, WLCSD offers students an opportunity to apply for a performing arts grant. The student must apply using their Google Student account, and they may only apply for a grant for one performing arts event. We encourage any student who could use the assistance to apply for this grant. You may find more information HERE.

Cookbooks

If you missed out on the cookbook orders, it's not too late! We have a few books available for sale. The cost is $22, checks payable to WLNMB (as always!). Please let Amy know if you'd like one; you may reach her at crazymomamy5@gmail.com.
