Pink Out Pep Rally Parent Sign Up

The deadline to sign up is Thursday, October 19th at 10am.

• If we qualify for the UIL State Marching Contest anticipate a Sunday, mid-morning, October 29, departure from Hebron HS for San Antonio. The UIL State Marching Contest will be October 30-31 at the Alamodome. Details at mandatory Parent/Student meeting on Tuesday, October 24. 7:00pm. HHS Auditorium.

Here are our most pressing volunteer opportunities for the upcoming weekend of October 20th, please see the graphic below for all the opportunities available.

• Pit Crew! We only have about half the amount of people we need to run the Pit Crew for the contest on Saturday night. The kids cannot get all the equipment onto the field at contest in the time allotted without our Pit Crew’s help. This could result in score deductions or disqualification if we do not get on and off the field in time. Please come help, the kids need us!

• We need chaperones Friday night, so that the chaperones serving all day Saturday can rest up. This is an easy and fun job and no experience is required. Please sign up and help!!

• The chaperones need to restock their supplies. 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

• If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org

Band kids! Mark your calendars and dust off your costumes for a fun Trunk or Treat in the circle drive on October 26th, right after rehearsal! There will be pizza, desserts, and trunk-or-treating.

Band Parents! The trunk spots have been filled, but we still need people to sign up to donate desserts and bags of candy, help with trash collection, and clean up crew! Please help if you can. Thanks so much!

(Remember, this is not a community event. It is for band and color guard students only.)

3. UPCOMING FUNDRAISERS (SAVE THE DATE) - Please mark your calendars for our upcoming fundraisers including Poinsettias, Mattresses, and Mulch!!

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:

October 23rd - Early voting begins

October 27 - Last Day to Apply for Ballot by Mail***

November 3 - Early Voting Ends

November 7 - Election Day

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

• be sick or disabled;

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