Good evening!
It is going to be another incredible week for our CMS band members!
Chocolate Bar Fundraiser Turn In
Tomorrow we will begin turning in out $60 for our current box of chocolates. This allows Ms. Menendez to tally up the amount of boxes sold and begin applying credits to field trips, along with finding out who are winners are!
You all have sold a LOT of chocolate! I cannot wait to see where we end up.
- Students must pay off whatever box they are currently on and turn in the $60 to Ms. Menendez
- If a student did not completely finish selling the box, they may keep the chocolates to continue selling, but must pay off the missing amount to total $60.
- Drawings and prizes will be awarded Friday.
- Thank you to our incredible parents for helping count our money the past two weeks!
