The 7-12th grade band members combined forces this morning to make a massive band to kick off Homecoming Friday! They celebrated the girls golf team then played some music at the CLJMS Whippet Pack Family competition. Cheer on both bands this afternoon at the parade!

Congratulations to the September Lifters of the Month.
