Full Service Saturday Recap
Thank you for the wonderful turnout on Saturday! We were able to kick-off our sponsorship program (more information later in this newsletter), and we got over 90% of our choir students fitted for a uniform on a single day! That is awesome!
As was discussed on Saturday, please make sure that your student is current on their fees by the end of this week. While we weren't able to roll-out the info for the spring trip like we had hoped, we did receive final approval this week. Be on the lookout for more information about our Spring Trip in next week's newsletter.

CHS Choir Booster Club
PLEASE NOTE: Booster club memberships and merchandise orders are due on or before the Fall Concert on October 7.
First, consider joining the booster club. Dues are $10 per family and you just need to turn-in a membership form with your dues by Full Service Saturday. Joining the booster club also allows you to be able to purchase several items for your student like a uniform bag, yard sign, etc. You also get your family's name printed in the concert programs.
Second, consider serving as an officer. We have multiple positions available for people to serve as they are able. Most of our officers also work jobs, so don't think that you have to have a lot of time. There are places for even the busiest of parents to contribute. We will even create positions for people that have the desire to help. We are only limited by our imagination and the willingness of parents to get involved. If you are interested in helping in a leadership position, please send me an email immediately because we hope to vote on officers at the Fall Concert.
The membership and booster merchandise order form is directly below this.
CURRENT FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsorships
Students received sponsorship packets at Full Service Saturday. We are asking for those to be processed quickly. We would like to be able to list as many of our sponsors in our fall concert program as we can.
Important: please make sure that each sponsor receives a card and completes a Sponsor Information Form and returns it to the student along with their payment. Any unsold cards should be returned as soon as possible so that we can redistribute them to other students who are experiencing success securing sponsorships. All cards were signed-for and must be returned (if unsold) to avoid being fined for their replacement.
Texas Value Cards Fundraiser
Students are selling Texas Value Cards for $20 each, and the students will receive $10 in their Charms account for each booklet sold. Additionally, the student will receive a free discount booklet for every 10 booklets sold. They are a great value!
The money needs to be collected upfront and then the the booklets will be distributed at the conclusion of the fundraiser.
For more information, please visit the link below for a fundraiser introduction letter to parents and a sample of the order form.
