News for Everyone
Upcoming Fall Fundraiser!
The purpose of this fundraiser is to build our booster club's account. The Booster Club's goal is to support both our choir students as well as the program itself. Several of the specific things we are fundraising for are:
- Student Scholarships to All-State Camps next summer
- Choir Fee assistance
- Financial assistance for field trip tickets (Specifically our upcoming trip to see Cinderella downtown on December 7th)
- Bus costs for field trips
- Uniform purchases and replacements
- Sponsorship of social parties and events for choir students
- Instrumentalists for concerts
More information will continue to come out as we prepare for the launch of this fundraiser on October 25th! Please email me with any questions!
