CITRUS UPDATE & THANKS

Our sale has ended, and Ms. Kluga hopes to have the final results for you by the end of this week. Many, many thanks to the parent volunteers who donated their valuable time last week to help tally our citrus orders. The students and Ms. Kluga so appreciate your help (and patience!) meticulously sifting and sorting through the piles of paperwork. This is our largest fundraiser, and we could not run it successfully without you – THANK YOU!! We have the BEST parent support!!

SHOE FUNDRAISER TO BENEFIT DISNEY FESTIVAL TRIP

During the month of November, YHS Wind Ensemble, Orchestra and Choir students will be collecting new and gently used shoes to help raise funds for their participation in Festival Disney.  Through a company called Funds2orgs, we will earn $.40 per pound of shoes, which are then used to support micro-enterprise vendors (small businesses in developing nations).

If you have pairs of new or gently worn shoes, please send them in with your student. We have a collection box in the band room. Thank you!
