Mr. Trew was recently honored as a Top 50 Director Who Makes a Difference for 2012 (Only one director from each state is selected). The article just came out today in School Band and Orchestra Magazine; see the attached PDF scans to read the article.

Great job Mr. Trew!

Steak dinner to benefit TAG Space Camp trip

2012-11-16T06:24:00.001-08:00

Please reserve December 7th at 7:00 p.m. on your calendars and join the gifted students of BMS for a steak dinner and an evening of fun at Bolivar High School! This is the year that the BMS 6-8th grade TAG (Talented and Gifted) classes go to Space Camp. As a group, we are hosting a dinner/auction to help raise funds for this one-in-a-lifetime experience. Come and have a steak dinner and support this great group of kids.

The talented and gifted (TAG) students at BMS get only one opportunity to go to SPACE CAMP during their time in middle school. We need to raise close to $15,000 to send all the TAG students. With just a little help from you, we can reach our goal. Dinner tickets are just $12.50 per person for a steak served with 2 sides, a roll, and a drink.

The dinner will be an emceed event consisting of a full steak dinner with all the fixings, a silent auction, dessert auction and several door prizes. We will mention our corporate sponsors and thank them for their participation multiple times throughout the evening. We will also run a slide presentation showing our TAG students at your location.
