Congrats to Drew Mellegaard and Truin Thomas! They were selected to be a part of the Inaugural DWU Middle School Honor Band this past Wednesday, January 29th! The concert was outstanding!
Parents/Guardians of Pep Squad Participants: Please note that the performers will not have to pay to get into tonight’s performance. However, parents/guardians will have to pay unless they have already purchased an activity pass.
Also, if your child(ren) wish to wear their gym shoes, the cheerleaders will have their gym shoes in the new gym. Please do not send your child(ren) to their classroom as doors will be locked.
Shirts have been handed out. K-2 has a ponytail with a flower they can wear for the performance tonight. 3-6 will receive their hair piece when they arrive. Also, if you do not wish for your child (3-6) to have face paint, please reach out to Mrs. Herman at lexy.herman@k12.sd.us.
Again, K-2 performers need to meet in the new gym at the beginning of warmups for the girls’ game. 3-6 need to meet in the new gym at beginning of warmups for the boys’ game.
Thank you for your understanding! We can’t wait for you to see what the Pep Squad participants have been up to! 😊
