The fall Coffee Fundraiser kicked off last week. I can accept the signup forms until Tuesday but online sales are ongoing. For more info, check out last week's post.
Please take a moment to review the information about the Band & Orchestra Benefit scheduled for February 9, 2013. Parents who are interested in updates about what's going on can join us at our next Booster meeting on November 20 at 7:30 in my room. Calling all artists- I would like to include a student designed cover for the program. Check out the event page for more info. I'll be updating that page with information as the event gets closer. I'm very excited for what promises to be a fun evening with engaging music, a raffle, a silent auction and more.
The Music Department is working with the Drama department to host the 5th annual Holiday Boutique on Saturday, November 24 from 10-4 in the PAC. The event features some 50 local craftspeople and vendors and is a great place to go shopping for holiday gifts and other needs. This is also a fundraiser for us as each vendor pays a small fee to participate in the event. Debbie Michels & Michelle Takeuchi are coordinating our efforts and will need a few volunteers during the event. Please contact me if you would be able to help with this event in any way.
I have updated the Live Music page of my blog with some performances in November & December. If you haven't yet turned in your Live Review, be sure you go and see one of the many great local music ensembles and turn the review in. For those students with excused absences from prior events, you must submit your Live Review for the missed event to be excused. Please note on the review which event you missed so I can clear it more quickly.
Our next Booster Club meeting is on Tuesday, November 20 at 7:30 in my room. Please join us and keep up with all that's going on.

November 5-9
Congratulations to the Jazz Band for their performance Friday at the West Valley College Jazz Festival. Thanks to Mrs. Canteenwala, Mrs. Kanga, Mrs. Abusaidi and Mr Carrillo for making our trip possible by driving students and equipment.
Join us on Thursday night at the Sandwich Mill for our next dinner partners night. No flier needed- just mention Pioneer when you order and we'll get a percentage of your order back as a donation! Take out is encouraged, but dine in works too!
The last regular season home football game is Friday night. We will be offering student dinners again this game. For $7, students and families can order a chili dinner. Thanks to Mrs Hubbard who is coordinating this week's efforts. If you'd like to help, email me. Students can pre-order their dinner with me in class through Wednesday. There will be a limited number of meals available to those who do not preorder.
We will begin our fall fundraiser this week, again this year with the We Care Coffee Company. This time, we will not only do a grab bags, but also online sales. Students can do either or both. The Grab Bag fundraiser is where a family gets an assortment of coffee, cookies & cocoa to sell. These items are all custom roasted and custom labeled for Pioneer Music and are the highest quality. The Gourmet Grab Bag contains 6 (12 oz.) bags of coffee, 2 bags (2 lbs.) of chocolate chip cookie mix and 2 bags of hot cocoa mix. These items sell for $13 each and bring in $130. Of that, each student earns $50 profit. The Mini Grab Bag contains 2 bags of coffee and 2 bags of cocoa. Items sell for $13 and bring in $52. Of that, $20 is credited to the student. Because the food items are fresh roasted and ground, students who wish to participate must return this informational form, indicating how many Grab Bags they would like. The Grab Bag forms are due next Friday 11/9 for delivery the first week of December- in time for holiday parties and gifts! Custom assortments of specific coffee/ cocoa are also possible if you let me know in advance. Online sales are easy to promote through facebook or you can email this link.
Join us on Tuesday, November 20 at 7:30 in my classroom for our November Booster meeting. We will update our current activities as well as hear reports from the parents who are coordinating our Benefit Concert. This will be a very important meeting and I hope many parents will be able to attend.
