Senior Photos Needed
Hi senior parents! I have started working on the senior books and I still need your photos! I have received pictures for 11 out of the 35 seniors. I really want to make sure I get your child in the book!!
Please send in pictures of your kiddos from freshman to senior year to nicolermoore@yahoo.com. They must be high resolution, no screenshots or texted images please- they will turn out fuzzy. If you can tell me your students name and what year for each picture so I will know how to group them I’d appreciate it. Most have sent separate emails for each year for their child and I have gotten anywhere from 3 pictures of each year to 30 pictures of each year. I’ll use them the best I can.
I really need these by spring break so that I’ll have time to get the book all together. Thank you SO MUCH for your help with this!

Fundraising Opportunity - Zips Car Wash!
Our Zips Car wash Fundraiser is LIVE!!! From now until March 1st, you, your friends, and your family can buy a car wash from our Dripping Springs Zips Car wash location and a full 50% of the cost of the wash will go straight to our Tiger Band!
Here's how it works:
1) Buy the wash from our Zips link: https://wlink.live/2024_drippingsprings
2) Zips will immediately send you a QR code for your car wash via email and text
3) Scan the QR Code when you get to the kiosk at the carwash
The car washes you buy are good for a full 10 months after purchase -- that means you can buy a ton, because your car is going to get dirty several times between now and Thanksgiving!
What the band needs from you:
1) Buy 10 months' worth of car washes for your family -- that's a lot of car washes.
2) Buy some car washes and gift them to people, because who doesn't love a carwash?
3) Send the link out to your friends and neighbors; they're going to get their cars washed at Zips anyway, so they may as well support the band while they're at it (don't forget to tell them that the washes are good for 10 months!)
4) Share our Zips fundraiser graphic on your social media
The proceeds of this fundraiser will go straight to helping pay for the new end of the year Band Ball for our kids, so it's a cause we all want to support!
If you have any questions, please always reach out!
