Happy Sunday!

We have started our last fundraiser for the year and we have field trips and performances coming up for all groups!

Our Raffle Fundraiser is back and better than ever!
As you have heard, our annual Raffle Fundraiser is back and we are excited to offer new prizes this year! Students will work this week on writing down contacts of ten people that they will send a text or email out to this week asking for them to support our band program. This will be a homework assignment for all students and I ask that you help them brainstorm some loved ones and family friends!
Our fundraiser is not only a fundraiser for the general band fund, but it is in place of yearly band fees. This also allows for students to earn money towards their upcoming field trips and builds a general fund to support students who wish to travel that have financial constrictions. Thank you for encouraging your student and remember that they need 15 ticket sales to enter our Raffle Party on April 2nd!
