Dear Students, Families, and Supporters,
We hope everyone had a great mother’s day today and a restful weekend. I want to thank the booster club and our amazing banquet committee for putting together an amazing end of the year banquet experience for our students and supporters! We are very proud of all of our seniors of the class of 2016 and look forward to next year with our wonderful students and families. This week, we will host our instructional leadership interviews and auditions for section leader and sergeant candidates. The Wind Ensemble will also be taking a trip to Clear Falls High School to perform a concert in their wonderful facilities and capture a wonderful recording in a series of recordings that will be compiled for our 2016 I.H. Kempner Band CD!
