Dear Henry Clay Band Family,  I hope everyone is enjoying this sunny day as our week comes to a close! Thank you to all the students who have volunteered to help with tomorrow’s KMEA State Jazz Assessment. We can still use some adult help if you will be around. Please let Mr. Kite or I know if you are able/willing to give us a hand with this festival.

Sincerely,   Jeff Bayerle
