Gallatin High Update

Can you help provide snacks for our juniors and sophomores as they take the ACT and PreACT tests next week? Students will be testing all morning and we hope to allow them to take a break and refuel between tests.

If you can help out, please sign up here and then drop off snacks to the GHS main office. Thank you to our GHS PAC for organizing!

We are so excited about the upcoming Bozeman Night Live shows, to be held this weekend, April 7th and 8th at 7pm at the Willson Auditorium!! This annual event, hosted by Bozeman Friends of Music, has been a performance highlight of the year for many of our high school musicians. It is also a wonderful fundraiser, providing important support for students K-12 in the music programs of the Bozeman School District. BFOM is completely run by volunteers, and 100% of the profits go back to our students.

Both shows are sure to delight!! Please come support the students and this great cause! Help us fill the Willson! To purchase tickets, you can go to our BFOM website, at http://bozemanfriendsofmusic.com/bnl-info/tickets/

As always, we are also in serious need of volunteer help. If there is any way you can usher, or contribute to a meal for the stage crew, or chaperone at rehearsals, we would REALLY appreciate it!!! This year for the first time, all ushers will be provided a free seat!! Below is the link to sign up to help out...If you have any questions or want to just volunteer over the phone, please text or call any of the BNL co-chairs, at the numbers listed below. Thank you in advance for your support of this great cause for young people in our community!!
