WHAT IS OUR FUNDRAISING USED FOR?

85% of the funds generated from the Citrus Sale go directly into student personal accounts, toward their spring festival trip.  15% go into the band “general fund” and are used to pay for items that benefit all band students.  Some examples include: chaperones for our festival trips (we can’t go on trips without chaperones, and are not allowed to roll chaperone fees into student costs) and band events. Funds generated from the Tag Sale and Swing Dance also benefit the band general fund.  We are very fortunate to be able to provide these musical opportunities to our students!  Thanks to all for helping us do so!

CITRUS DELIVERY MONDAY 12/16

The citrus delivery date is Monday 12/16. All students are required to pick up their ENTIRE order on this day.  Please mark your calendars!  WE ARE IN NEED OF PARENT VOLUNTEERS.  Parent and student volunteers will be needed from 7:00 – 11:00am to help unload the trucks, and again from 2:00 – 6:30pm to help students assemble and pick up their orders. Please e-mail Ms. Kluga if you are available.

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 fundraise 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.
