Fundraising Updates

 Can & Bottle Drive -April 24th
Saturday April 25th! (and Sunday the 26th) We ask that all students participate for at least two shifts, and that parents help out as well.  The last few years, we've not been able to collect from all neighborhoods,simply because we did not have enough drivers to get the students around.
Students can earn money towards their student account when participating in this fundraiser.  (They can even get 'credit' for parents or sibling participation)

Shop with Scrip
We are now set up with the 'Shop with Scrip' program.  Details will be coming home with your students, but in a nutshell, you purchase gift cards and use them at local merchants, and earn a percentage of those purchases that is deposited into your student's account.  If you use scrip regularly, you can earn hundreds of dollars! This is a great way to raise funds for the Orlando Trip, Marching Band or music lessons.  You can have family and friends participate as well.  If you want to get started now, go to www.shopwithscrip and sign up using our code:

​The entire Instrumental Music Department schedule can be found at the 2019/2020 CALENDAR link below.
