Here are our most pressing volunteer opportunities for the remainder of the week of October 29th, please see the graphic below for all the opportunities available.

• We have our last Home Football game on Friday, and we need help with chaperones, concessions, and water crew! PLEASE signup to Chaperone so our weary trip chaperones can take a week off before we leave for Grand Nationals.

• Saturday we will be having a full band performance as a sendoff for Grand Nats and we need help with concessions and spirit wear. Concessions and Spirit Wear will both close for the performance, so you will not miss the show, but we could use help before and after the show!

• Thank you, thank you, thank you to everyone who purchased items to help the chaperones restock! There are still a few things on their wishlist that they will need for Grand Nats, so it’s not too late to help, please go to their Amazon wishlist and help them out by ordering the items they need to continue taking care of our kids! https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/3TRNU01NRQ5RZ?ref_=wl_share

The Hebron Band Booster Club would like to let our parents know that the LISD Board of Trustees has voted to call for a $1.23B bond election and a voter-approved tax rate ratification election (VATRE). Both proposals will be up for voter approval on November 7th.

Registered voters residing within Lewisville ISD boundaries will be asked to consider a total of seven propositions that would generate additional funding to support educational programs and conduct maintenance, repairs and renovations across the district. If voters approve all six bond propositions (totaling $1.23B) and the VATRE, the total tax rate will be 10.6 cents lower than last year’s tax rate, a double-digit decrease in the total rate.

Learn more about the LISD bond package & VATRE at www.lisdbond.com

Important dates to remember:

November 3 - Early Voting Ends

November 7 - Election Day

*** To be eligible to vote early by mail in Texas you must:

• be 65 years or older;

• be sick or disabled;

• be out of the county on election day and during the period for early voting by personal appearance; or

• be expected to give birth within three weeks before or after Election Day; or

• be confined in jail, but otherwise eligible.
