Traditionally we have a bake sale prior to and during the concert. We are asking parents to donate baked goods (store bought or home-baked), individually wrapped and ready for sale. Examples: cookies (2 per bag), brownies (1 per bag), muffins, donuts. The idea is something simple and easy to place in a baggie for sale. We will have a table set-up in front of the auditorium, and all items can be dropped there or with a band parent. Sorry for the short notice but we’d like to continue the tradition, and it’s great snacks for the show! If you have any questions email Kim @ kbernstein68@gmail.com
Fancloth orders are in and looking fantastic with tons of band and school spirit!!! You can pick your order up Monday night at school from 8 to 9:15 or Tuesday night from 8:30 to 9:15. Parents wanting their orders to be gifts and NOT brought home by students, please make sure you email Lourdes at luly632@gmail.com and let your child know that you will be picking up your order, not them. Look for Lourdes by the auditorium both nights. Thank you for supporting the Fancloth fundraiser!
