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.
