Agenda Items:
Football games: There are 3 regular season home games left. Mr. Edwards thanked the members for being flexible and reminded them that we are still adhering to the governor’s mandates which can change weekly. Per RSCD on employees can be on buses so we are not currently having parents as chaperones. 

  • We plan to play but will not march at any away games. The number of students attending may be limited.


Concessions Stand

  • We will be selling hamburgers again in the concession stand but will only cook about 250.  People are needed to cook the burgers.  If you are on the list to work and would like to cook burgers let Mr. Edwards, Mr. Tapley or Mr. Wilson know.  You will need to arrive at 3:30 and will be released once the burgers are cooked.
  • Do not arrive to work in the concession stand before 5:00. Arrive time is 5:30-6:00 pm.
  • We have 8th grade parent’s working in the concession stand.
  • We need volunteers to feed the kids after half time.  If you are on the list to work the concession stand you can volunteer for this role.


 Financial Report:

  • Sarah Mendez reviewed the current financial status of the Band Boosters. See attached report.
  • Mrs. Mendez encouraged the booster members to sign up for Kroger Rewards.
  • She reminded us that the concession stand is our biggest fundraiser. We had to buy extra supplies because it is the beginning of the season so these costs come out of our profits but should be recuperated as the season progresses.
