Welcome (Back!)
We've got lots of great stuff on the horizon and I want you to be "in the know", so I will send out a flyer once a month to let you know what's on the horizon in Orchestra World!
PARENTS: Sign up for Text Reminders!!
Never Fear!
Click on "Miss the Parent Meeting?" above to access my teacher website, where you can find all the files used at the meeting or access them through "Content" on your student's eClass page!
THE BIGGEST NEW THING YOU SHOULD KNOW ABOUT? Participation Fee Incentives!
In order for us to be able to continue to do fun stuff and have the things that we need, we have to have money in the budget to buy supplies, food, facilities, etc.
We would love to be able to operate without needing to charge money for each student, but, we have to. So this year, we will be offering MV Orchestra Family Memberships when Participation Fees are paid! What do you get with your membership?
- A nifty, personalized card that shows that shows that you're a proud MV Orchestra Member!
- A free MV Orchestra car decal!
- FREE ADMISSION to MV Orchestra Concerts (Non-Members will pay $5 per person--- this is a change from previous years) for the whole family!
- Discounts on Social Events... some will even be FREE for memebrs!
- Assorted other perks, such as discounts on commemorative T-Shirts, etc.
Just a side-note: If you are a family of four and you attend all four Orchestra Concerts this school year, admission to these events will add up to $80 ($5 each x 4 people = $20 per concert; there are four concerts, so 4 x $20 = $80!) just in admission! Plus, if your student wants to play kickball, softball, and laser tag, you're up around $100!
BUT
If you purchase the $90 Family Membership, the whole family can attend every concert for free AND your student's social event admission will be included or reduced! WHAT A DEAL!
We are SO HAPPY to help you by working out a Payment Plan for the Family Membership Fee! Please contact Mrs. Betts via email in order to set one up!
We're BAAAAAAAACK!!!!
