Hail to Our Volunteers at the Car Wash!

A big thank you to all students and parent volunteers that came out on last Saturday to help with the car wash! A special thanks to Becky Fulton and Lalitha Ketineni, our Car Wash Parents, as well as Arnav Ketineni, the Tri-M Car Wash Coordinator, for helping to organize the event! Last but not least, thank you to the firefighters that came to wash their truck with us! We appreciate your service! The funds raised will be used for all orchestra related things like sectionals coaches and the upcoming trip to Nashville.
