Food Truck Friday, October 2

We are excited to announce that we will be participating in food truck Friday with support of our administration and PTO! The Midnight Regiment will have a white tent and tables set up alongside the other food trucks, giving students another lunch option while helping us raise a little extra money for the band.

Please Note:

We are looking for experienced concession stand volunteers who are comfortable working in a fast-paced environment. Please note that these are volunteer-only shifts.

When you arrive, please check in at the front office. From there, make your way to the bus loop parking lot (or as we know it, the skillet) and look for the white tent.

Please review the available slots below and click on the button to sign up. Thank you!

If you have any questions please reach out to Leslie Keehn or AJ Sanchez
