Fundraiser Opportunity for our Guard Program

I got a call today from the person in charge of the volunteer crew for Championships. He let me know that there are about 10 spots that still need to be filled with volunteers. The shifts are about 4 hours long and some are available for Saturday and some for Sunday. Both Exit 52 and Almost Home already have 2 volunteers lined up as part of our requirement for Championships. Any additional volunteers that we provide would get free admission as well as earn $50 for the general fund of Exit 52 and Almost Home. Anyone interested in helping out should give me a call on my cell phone 292.4802 as soon as possible.
Thanks for considering this option. Your help is greatly appreciated. :)

MCGC Championships Information

Here's the plan for Championships weekend. . .

Friday, March 27
Students should plan on bringing their overnight bags and uniforms with them to school unless they have time to go home and be back to school by 3:45. Middle school students may leave their bags in my classroom in the morning. The kids are welcome to hang out in my classroom to watch guard videos before we leave for Saginaw. We will not be making a rest stop on this trip so the kids might want to grab a quick snack after school or bring something for the ride.

3:45 Meet in front parking lot at LMS
4:00 Depart LMS
6:15 Arrive and Check in at the Hampton Inn.
7:00 Dinner* at Fire Mountain Grill in Saginaw.
*The cost per person for dinner is $5 for kids ages 12 and under and $10 for those 13 years and older. This includes a soft drink and an all you can eat buffet featuring all you can eat steak and seafood. This is not the full price but the guard will cover the rest. We have our own area reserved and it should be a very nice dinner. Much better than our Little Caesars feast last year. Please have cash or a check made out to Exit 52 ready when we check in at the hotel. Thanks. :)

Other events for Friday Evening. . .
We may have practice time for Exit 52 Friday evening.
Senior Ceremony Friday night. This is for current Exit 52 members and staff only.


Saturday, March 28
Tentative Performance Times. . . I will post actual times once we have them. This will not be until Tuesday or Wednesday of the week prior to Championships.

Almost Home - Around 10:00 am
Awards for Almost Home - Around 4:30 pm
*Possible rehearsal time for Exit 52 Saturday after Almost Home performs.

Exit 52 - Around 5:30 pm (We would love it if all Almost Home members stayed to watch Exit perform. Their class will begin right after the middle school awards ceremony.)
Awards for Exit 52 - Around 9:15 pm

Change in rehearsal for Friday March 6th. . .

Exit 52
Some of the Exit 52 kids asked if they could have an extended rehearsal since they don't have school. This shows great dedication on their part. In order to honor that request and to help the kids get ready for the Lakeland competition, we will be holding rehearsal from 1 pm-1o pm at LMS. A dinner break will be given at 6 pm. Pizza will be provided. If you want to bring something other than pizza please feel free to do so. Please bring your own beverages. :)

Almost Home
No change. Rehearsal will still run from 6-8 pm at LMS. Almost Home members are always welcome to watch Exit 52 rehearse so come early or stay late if you want to.
