Dear M100 Family,
Happy Halloween! Hope everyone is enjoying this weekend. It was a great day yesterday at Area Contest! The M100 had the best performance of their season and though we missed finals by just one place, we hope the students enjoyed the day and felt the rush of a great performance as they came off the field at Kelly Reeves Stadium! We are very proud of all you’ve accomplished this marching season! The marching experience is not over but the marching rehearsal commitment will be greatly reduced. Students need to start bringing concert horns daily. Please read on for more details.
My Email Woes…
I have not been able to access my Outlook email (shannon.gill@bisd.net) since Friday, 10/29. I will let everyone know when this is resolved but until then - PLEASE EMAIL ME AT shannon.gill@mybisd.net.
As long as I can access the internet at home, I can get my email through gmail - yay!
Sorry for the inconvenience,
Shannon Gill
