All LHS Band Parents,
As most of you are aware, we are hosting 23 students from Takayama,
Japan next month. The students, ages 13 - 17, will be arriving on
Friday afternoon, August 9th and will be with you until Monday morning
August 12th. I just received the student housing list from Takayama,
Japan and we will need the following hosting arrangements:
3 families able to house a single female student each
7 families able to house 2 female students each
3 families able to house 2 male students each
So far, the following LHS Band families have indicated their
willingness to host students from Takayama, Japan next month:
Emmons - 2 female students
Volling - 1 female student
Shigaya - 2 students (either male or female)
Coleman - 1 or 2 female students
Staab - 1 female student
Vander Leest - possibly 1 female student
Elliott - possibly 2 male students
Calkins - 2 students (either male or female)
We still need 5 more families who would be willing to host 2 students,
either 2 boys together or 2 girls together. Please let Mr. Emmons
know by July 19th if you would be able to host a few students for us.
Also, feel free to contact Mr. Emmons if you have any questions or
concerns. A couple of reminders, we do have activities planned for
the entire time the students are here with us so that you do not feel
that you have to entertain the students all on your own. Also, since
the students are here to have an experience with an American family,
anything you do works out very well for this weekend. Finally, this
is a fund-raiser that will benefit the entire band program, so we
really do need your help.
Also, we will be having a Band Parent work day on Saturday, August 3rd
from 9:30am to 2pm. You can come anytime and there will be projects
for everyone to work on. Guys, bring some tools!!
Thank you so much, hope to see you all in August.
