BPA Students see Mr. Crowley if you would like to sign up for concessions. Fund raising helps to offset the cost of regional, state and national conferences. If you do not participate in fund raisers, you will have to pay the entire cost to attend the conferences. Additionally, if you haven’t signed up for your two events, do that ASAP as well.

The Genesee Booster Committee will have the concessions for this Saturday, December 3rd from 12:00 until the last game is played! We will be serving chili, baked potatoes with all the fixings, grilled hot dogs and much more! This is a fundraiser for the Boosters so we can keep providing our kids with much needed funding for their activities! There are 4 games that day so we plan on feeding a bunch! If you are a Booster Member please try and help out with this very worthwhile fundraiser!

Thanks again for all your support, Sherie and Susan.
And thank you to the wonderful volunteers who came to help and the many students who spent their recesses chatting with us about what they liked to read. It was a very good time all around!
