The Entertainment Book fundraiser wraps up Monday. Students can return all unsold books to me on Monday. Any unsold books not returned can still be sold and will still benefit the student. All money for the books ($30 each, checks to Pioneer Performing Arts) should be turned in this week.
Thank you to the Carrillo family for hosting dinner for our first football game. We were able to sell almost 50 burritos and raise some much needed funding for the band. This week, the Sandwich Mill will be hosting dinner. Students and families may pre-order a roast beef, turkey, ham or veggie sandwich through the end of school on Thursday. Dinner will be $7 each and include the sandwich, drink, chips and dessert.
The Tour 2013 Contract is due on Friday. Please take time to carefully consider your student's participation and your participation as a chaperone. It is so important that we have a great turnout in order to make for the most positive musical opportunity for all. I know that finances are a concern to some, but I want you to know that there are many students who have already raised a significant amount of money. We have also begun to put in place more effective fundraising and scholarship opportunities as well. I sincerely hope that these efforts will enable as many students to participate as possible.
On Wednesday, we will have our first dining partner dinner at Pizza My Heart on Blossom Hill (across from Oakridge). From 4-9 pm, just mention Pioneer Performing Arts when ordering, and we will get a 30% cut of your order- no fliers needed! Offer is valid on dine in, take out or delivery.
Finally, all students will receive a balance statement this week reflecting all the money paid, earned and charged so far this year. If you have already paid for your tuxedo, dress or pep band attire, thank you. If not, please send a check in to "Pioneer Performing Arts" this week. All students who have made a payment will get a receipt, and all future payments will get a receipt as soon as I receive them. For those of you who may be considering a donation, remember that all gifts are tax deductible and directly benefit our students. If you have questions about finances, please don't hesitate to email me.
