Slackers?

It's been some time since our last post here, but it's certainly not because we've been slacking!

Having successfully completed our school campaign, which gave a free school-supply kit to every student in grades PK-6 at our elementary school, we tackled another issue: band instruments. In order to keep four junior high students in band, we rounded up three clarinets and two trumpets along with cash donations for their repair. An oboe may also make its home at USD 507 depending on the level of repairs it needs. We hope to work with the Satanta Lions Club to ensure that all our 5th and 6th graders in band have access to school-owned instruments. Plus, we've already initiated project Christmas Angel by purchasing 39 long-sleeved Satanta t-shirts (for kids in grades 5-12) from the Satanta freshmen class, and we've renewed our church's membership to the Satanta Booster Club. We are also working to ensure that our youth program gets off to a great start by hosting a kick-off event with food and games in the park. We will set-up for this event at 5:00 on Wednesday, 9/11.
