Fundraiser Orders Due Tomorrow
Thank you for your help with this. We're hoping this was a successful fundraiser. This will be our last fundraiser for a little while; however, events like the Military Salute and the Talent Show also help us to generate the funds we need to provide excellent opportunities to our students.
National Anthem Performance This Friday
Rehearsals will take place during 6th and 7th period on Friday. Busses will transport students to and from the stadium for rehearsals only (one bus will pickup and drop off at CFC, 2 busses will run to/from CHS).
Students will wear clean jeans (with minimal holes/rips/shredding) and their blue choir polos. Those polos will be distributed during classes later this week. In the off chance that the blue polo shirts do not arrive in time, our backup plan is to wear the orange t-shirt that they got this year.
The call time for the performance will be 6:00 pm. Students will be granted access to the stadium (at no charge) if they arrive in uniform and enter the gate closest to the field house/loading ramp. We will sing around 6:40 (20-30 minutes before kickoff).
NEWS & ACCOMPLISHMENTS
9th Grade Region Choir Audition Results
Congratulations to all of our students who auditioned for a 9th Grade Honor Choir. You are to be commended for learning this music so quickly and for still doing so well.
Congratulations to the following students who were named to one of the TMEA Region 6 West Zone Middle School Honor Choirs:
Soprano 1
- Andrea Isaacs - 5th Chair
- Aaliyah Collins - 7th Chair
Bass
- Tyler Bridges - 5th Chair
Fall Concert
Some changes we hoped you liked:
- Starting a little earlier (7:00 as opposed to 7:30), which was possible because we...
- Had dress rehearsals during the school day.
A sincere "thank you" to our CFC and CHS Administrators and the SAISD Transportation Department for helping to make those earlier rehearsals possible.
Some areas to target for improvement for the next performance:
- Students need to arrive in-uniform. There was a considerable mess left in the back restrooms that some of our boys used before the concert.
- Please make sure that your student is signing-out after the concert with their class representative. This is an important part of their grade for the concert.

CURRENT FUNDRAISING OPPORTUNITIES
Sponsorships
Sponsors receive a sponsor card to display in their place of business, their family or business is listed in our programs, and they receive a number of free tickets to our annual ticketed events. There are differing levels of sponsorship with each level receiving enhanced benefits. A flyer explaining the levels of sponsorship is directly below this.
Students received sponsorship packets at Full Service Saturday. We are asking for those to be processed quickly. We are asking that all sponsorships and cards be returned no later than next week.
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.
