INTERESTED IN VOLUNTEERING? Recent grads! Some of you have reached out asking if you can come back to help with Band Camp. If you're interested in helping out, please do the following: 1. Let Mrs. Loy know! I would like to know who is interested and when you plan to help. 2. You'll need to obtain clearances AND submit them with an application to PBSD. These directions are straight from our HR department: *** All volunteers will need to apply online. We are switching websites for applications today so I would tell them to wait a few days before they apply. (This is as of July 1st). *** They need clearances, they can apply for a free volunteer clearance for PA Criminal History and Child Abuse History. They will need to pay for the FBI fingerprint clearance though. *** Links for all clearances are on the website under Departments>Human Resources>Clearances. 2022 MARCHING BAND KICKOFF MEETING!
