Volunteer Central
Here are our volunteer opportunities for the week of September 10th. This is a bye week, so this is a great chance for you to look at our upcoming opportunities and plan ahead.
This is also a great chance to get your background check completed! If you have already done your background check and been approved, please please please go join the Hebron Band Event in Voly (Step 3 when you click the Voly button below). Contest season starts in less than 3 weeks, and we’ll need nearly twice as many volunteers to handle Friday night games and Saturday morning contests, so if you’ve just been watching the signups and noticing how fast they fill up, well, go get your background check and jump in there, I promise, you don’t want to miss out on all the fun!!
- Memory Books is looking for volunteers from each section of the band to help go through the pictures that are taken and make sure that all band members are represented in the book. Please go to the signup for more information.
- As you’re looking ahead on our sign-up page, please pay particular attention to opportunities to help with Spirit Wear at Parent Preview in 2 weeks and look way ahead to Trunk or Treat coming up at the end of October. That’s a super fun event that you don’t want to miss helping out for!
- If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org

LISD Bond & VATRE Information
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

Band Fees are due this Friday, Sept. 15
Hey Band,
In addition to our normal fundraising activities this year that cover the general operating costs of the band, we have additional funds needed for 54 students in our band family in order to help get these students to Grand Nats. We realize that many of you have given so much already, but if you are able, we ask that you donate to our directed Student Scholarship Assistance Fund. Any amount is greatly appreciated. You can scan the QR code above or go to https://paybee.io/@hebronband@80. We are ⅓ of the way there to meeting the financial need of these band students. Thank you for your generosity. #AIATT
