Harlem Wizards are Coming to Town...Purchase Tickets NOW!
The Harlem Wizards are coming to Quakertown High School on March 1st at 7 PM! Tickets are available NOW and you can begin ordering them through this site! Please share with your family, friends, neighbors, and all basketball enthusiasts in your life.
As a reminder, QE receives a percentage of all sales and those proceeds benefit our students in many ways (i.e., reduced rate for trips, bussing for trips, special assemblies, special activities/celebrations, t-shirts for students, K and 5 graduation, PBIS support, etc.). For what it's worth, Dr. Lesher will be the starting point guard for the game so at least the students will get a chance to see him make a fool of himself:)
Bake Sale - 2/21
Please consider signing up to support the bake sale at QE on 2/21. All proceeds of the bake sale will go directly to the purchase of Harlem Wizard Tickets, which will be raffled off no later than 2/26.

Meet the Instruments Night - Thursday, March 21
Parents of current 2nd-7th grade students who wish to learn an instrument next year, save the date!
“Meet The Instruments Night” and parent meeting will be held Thursday March 21st from 6-7:00pm at Strayer Middle School. This event is for any student who might like to learn a musical instrument next year in the band and orchestra program! (Current band and orchestra students do not need to attend this event unless you are considering learning a new instrument.)
At "Meet the Instruments Night" your child will get to try out their top instrument choices before you enroll them in the program and get an instrument for them. Parents will also learn more about the QCSD band and orchestra program, get to meet the teachers, learn about instrument rentals, and ask any questions.
You must pre-register for this event, so we will know our anticipated attendance and can provide the correct amount of supplies (mouthpieces, reeds, etc.) to allow your child to try out up to 3 instruments.
CLICK HERE TO PRE-REGISTER FOR “MEET THE INSTRUMENTS NIGHT”
*Registering for “Meet The Instruments Night” does not enroll your child in the program. It simply allows the students an opportunity to try out the instruments before you rent, purchase, or borrow an instrument.
If you have questions, please contact your school’s music teacher. Visit qcsd.org/music and click the CONTACT page to find their contact information.
There’s an instrument for everyone, we just need to find the right fit for your child!

Upcoming Important Dates
Wednesday, February 21 - Bake Sale
