9/27-10/2

Week at a glance:

  • Monday: No DHB practice.
  • Tuesday: No DHB practice. Carroll County Marching Band Exhibition: Free for all CMS Band students!
  • Friday: Chocolate Fundraiser money ends

Chocolate Fundraiser Conclusion: Friday October 2nd.

Our fundraiser concludes this Friday and we ask that all students submit the $80 for their current box by that date. Once you submit the $80, you may continue selling the remaining chocolates at your leisure. The band program must have all money accounted for each box that students have signed out.

Let’s finish this week strong and as a reminder, all students who sell one box will earn an invitation into our annual Chocolate Bar Party!

Below are some important reminders about our fundraiser:

  • CHOCOLATE BAR PERMISSION FORM
  • All students must have a form filled out EACH time they would like to check out a box of chocolate. Each box is $80 and all $80 must be submitted once the 40 chocolates have been sold.
  • All students will receive their chocolate box at the end of the school day. They will come during dismissal to pick up their box once the form has been completed. Students may not carry the box around during the school day.
  • 7th/8th grade may only sell during the school day if it is at the end of the class with teacher approval. 6th graders may not sell during the school day.
  • To purchase multiple boxes at a time, please email maria.menendez@carrolltoncityschools.net
    • This is fantastic for businesses and companies who may benefit from selling them and supporting our band program!
