Dear Parent/Guardian,
It’s that time again! Yes, due to the expenses of this band, we are
looking for your support during the year with fundraisers. We will be doing a variety of fundraisers
this year, most of them dealing with food sales. As with all of such fundraisers, we ask that
you allow your student to participate.
Their effort, along with yours, will ensure our success this year.
This year everyone is welcome
to allow your student to participate in order to pay off his or her band
fees. Tallies will be kept in order to
maintain proper bookkeeping.
Finally, as with all
fundraisers, your student is financially responsible for any items they take
for sale. PLEASE NOTE: When the time for
collection is due, there will be no returns of any kind for any items or
goods unless specified otherwise.
Thank you so much for your
help and support this year! Please sign
the form below and lets get ready to have fun!
