REGISTER YOUR KROGER CARD AND A PORTION OF YOUR PURCHASES WILL BE DONATED TO THE LBA. We received a check for $1,181.52 for the Kroger Rewards Program last quarter. Thank you for your support and remember to use your Kroger card. |
It is important that our families be responsible and complete their LBA payments for this year. We want to maintain our championship program and provide the best experience for our students but we need your help. If you have any difficulties in completing your LBA payments for 2015-16 please contact Mr. Smith asap for assistance. Payments for 2016-17 will begin very soon. You can email Mr. Smith at chuck.smith@fayette.kyschools.us |
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED AT BINGO ON TUESDAY AND THURSDAY. Each family is asked to volunteer 12 times per year to maintain this fundraiser. The coverall Bingo is $2,200 on Tuesday evening, so we expect a large crowd and need pull tab sellers to cover the entire evening. |
|
The Kroger Community Rewards number for Lafayette Band is #10043 |
Family Payments can be mailed to LBA PO Box 910450 Lexington, KY 40591 We can process credit card payments or work with your bank to establish a recurring draft. |
Please come and sell pulltabs for a few hours. You can choose from 2 shifts: 6:00pm – 8:00pm or 8:00pm – 10:00pm |
