WOW! Lots of things happening this week at the Dog Pound...

The Bulldogs play at home this week and it is Homecoming! Homecoming festivities begin on the field at 6:30pm with the band performing their FANTASTIC field show after the game, so stick around to cheer on our kids!!
Sunday is the Manchester Halloween Parade and note the time change: Bus will depart at 1:30pm.
Some notes about the Kennard-Dale game. This game is now on a Friday night, October 22nd. We hope to have directions to the field next week, so check back. We do know that there will be a regular band practice at 3:30pm and the bus will pull out at 5:!5pm.
It is time to think sunshine and coffee aka The Citrus Sale!!! The paperwork will be appearing soon and the sale runs thru November 12, so start making your list now as to whom you are going to solicit!
See you at Friday's on Sunday, October 24th Share the attached flier with family, friends and strangers. The booster club earns 20% on the food purchase so eat up!
This Tuesday, October 19 at 7:00pm in the West York Area Middle School cafeteria, the school board will be meeting to discuss the upcoming Tremont Vending contract. This is our supplier of soft drinks and water for concession sales. We encourage you to attend to make the school board aware of our dilemma in having parents donate water vs purchasing water from Tremont, The proposed contract would force us to purchase bottled water exclusively from Tremont at a cost of approximately $7.00 per case. At 10 football games, three parades and other functions this cost really adds up. Our goal is to make them aware that if we are supplying water for consumption only, not the sale of, that we should be able to have the water donated.
The KidStuff Book sales are going well. Remember this book makes a great gift for Christmas or birthdays. Sales end November 5. Contact Penny Wales at 792-5296 or at dpwales@comcast.net for information. Sale ends November 5.
The High School DVD set is available now. This covers marching band, concert band and jazz band. We have all years available. Order forms are available from Mr. Eyster or send you request to dpwales@comcast.net. Cost is $15.00 and makes a great gift!
