Calling all Bakers and Craft makers! The band program here at Woonsocket is growing and needs new percussion equipment! Last year, together with the School Board we purchased New Marching Band Uniform Jackets, which will make their debut in the fall of 2025! This year, with the assistance of the school board we are purchasing a new pair of Timpani and a new Concert Bass Drum for Woonsocket! We would like to host a bake/craft sale at the Spring Concert, May 8th, to raise additional funds to cover the cost of this purchase. Please contact Mrs. Karlen at the school if you are willing to contribute to this wonderful endeavor! Jennifer.karlen@k12.sd.us
