Parents and Students,We have a busy couple weeks ahead as we go into fall break. My schedule has been a lot more demanding this semester, so it's been a bit more challenging for me to fire off emails as often as I'd like, so I'm going to cover a lot of ground here.

Good Afternoon Parents and Students!I just wanted to send out a quick update that we are in desperate need of donations of cases of water for tomorrow (and future games)! If you're able, please send one with your child to school in the morning. We will absolutely use all of them! I'm always in the band room before school, so they should be able to come in and drop it off and not have to carry it around all day. We would greatly appreciate it! Thank you!Mr. Benjamin GarlandDirector of Instrumental MusicSahuarita High School(520)625.3502 x1551
