World’s Finest Chocolate

We started the final Chocolate fundraiser to help students earn money towards band fees and or their trip NYC. Students who brought back permission slips were given boxes of chocolate. The band cannot accept chocolate back, so all students who do accept the chocolate will be required to bring $60 back in return or it will be charged to their band account. If you would like your child to receive a box of chocolate, please submit this permission slip and we will be happy to allow them to participate. Students receive $25 for each box sold towards their fees. Additionally, students will receive their name in a drawing for each box sold by September 29. We will draw names for gift cards to local restaurants, and will have 3 final drawings for the grand prizes: $50 VISA, $50 VISA, and $100 VISA. Thank you to our fundraising representative, Mike Nichols, for donating extra boxes of chocolate to cover the cost of our prizes.

THANK YOU!

In addition to water donations, we also have a wishlist set up on Amazon that allows parents, friends, and volunteers to easily send donations of snack items for students. The snacks are provided as side items to our meals, on the bus on our way home after a game or competition. We appreciate your help in providing these items for our students. We received many boxes from this past Prime Day sale. Thank you to all of the parents who have already sent in donations!
