Spring Fundraiser Fun! Help Support SLHS Band and Guard this Spring!
Enchanted Garden Gift Cards
Gift cards for Enchanted Gardens go on sale next week. Be on the lookout for the link to the store. We get 40% back so please help us sell lots of gift cards by sharing the link with friends and family. Delivery will take place at the end of February- just in time for Spring planting!
Chocolate Fountain Party Competition
A competition with a chocolate prize is coming! The band/guard class with the most Enchanted Gardens Gift Cards sold will win a Chocolate Fountain Party to take place during class. Pretzels, fruit, and more are to be dipped into the chocolate fountain and then eaten by the class that sells the most Gift Cards. A tracking chart will help each class know who is in the lead. So, students, pass that code, pass that link, and sell those gardening gift cards!
Mulch! Mulch! Mulch!
Please consider helping out...
One of our biggest fundraisers is Spring Mulch. We are trying to sell mulch in March and have the delivery/pick up date as Saturday, March 23 from 8-11 am. Usually, our Loading Crew serve as our main delivery guys. They will be busy with Color guard & Percussion competitions that day. The only way to make this Spring Mulch happen is to have volunteers to help with delivery. We need people to sign up to deliver mulch. This entails having a truck and/or trailer to haul mulch and an adult driver. We will provide the student volunteers to lift the mulch to and from the truck/trailer at delivery points. Feel free to contact fundraising7lakes@gmail.com for any questions.

Fundraising Goals
We truly do appreciate your participation in our fundraising. Fundraising helps keep our band/guard fees from increasing. So far this year, we have not met our fundraising goals. If our fundraising falls short this year, fees will go up next year. Please keep that in mind as the year progresses. Mark your calendars and share the information with family and friends. Help us help you and our program. Everyone can do something!
Thank you to our corporate sponsors
