Please check with Mrs. Good if you have any issues. Just a reminder, Charms is our primary means of communication. Please rely on this source rather than various social media groups for the most accurate information.

Every little bit counts. If you need help with it, email us at the address above.

Tucson and use code 12345 on ANY car wash they buy, and BA Bands will receive 10% back for each of those washes. Share the flier that was sent out in Charms and on Facebook.
- Monday, June 14, 4pm to 8pm we will have a Dine Out at Slim Chickens on Hillside Drive. 20% of proceeds will go to BA Bands. You must mention the fundraiser at the register. Be sure you tell them thank you, too, for supporting BA Bands.
- Save the date! Saturday, July 10 from 9:30 to 3:00, we will have our annual car washes (2 locations simultaneously)! This one requires all hands on deck. Details, student assignments, supplies and adult volunteer signups are to come so watch for specifics in Charms.
- We are working on one more possible large prize for the car raffle so soft launch has been pushed back a bit to try to get it, but STAY TUNED!
