First Fundraiser

Hello Music Parents,

Time for Fundraisers! Most of your kids came home with a packet but some have not.  They will get them tomorrow.  For our first fundraiser, we will be selling Otis Spunkmeyer cookie dough and pizza!

To Start I want everyone to know that fundraisers are OPTIONAL.  However, this is a great way for your child to earn money to put in their individual music  accounts.  The money can be used for fees, choir dresses, trip payments etc….
About this fundraiser:

1. It will run till Oct. 14.  ALL ORDERS AND MONEY ARE DUE ON OCT. 14

2. Money has to be collected at time of ordering

3. Checks made payable to: LSWMP

4. All items are $16 and they make a profit of $6.40 on each item.

5. The orders will be delivered the week of Nov. 3.  Will have the exact date later.

Heads up for future fundraiser

In November we will be starting a new fundraiser.  I hate that they fall so close together but I wanted to fit one more in before Christmas.  It will be a fundraiser selling summer sausages and cheese, chocolate candies and a few non food items.  More information to come.

If you have any questions, please feel free to email or call me.

Thanks ,

Andrea Kaiser

Thanks!

Good evening,

Thank you to everyone for coming out and supporting the Ice Cream Social.  It was a record fundraising event.  Please pass along to any friends and family that came a thank you for their support as well.  We met the matching fund donation of $2500 from Modern Woodman of America.  Also a special thank you to all of the volunteers that made this event possible.  I know that we can improve this for next year so if you have constructive criticism/feedback please let me know.

Our Drumline just participated in the Drummit at the Summit and took 1st place in the Gold Division!  Congrats to all of those students, it’s great to see their hard work paying off.

It’s with regret that I announce that our Treasurer has resigned.  As a result the music parents are in need of someone(s) to step up and help with this.  If interested please contact me and we can discuss the position.

I’d like to have a work day for the trailer on Saturday, September 21st, around 9am.  The main reason for this is to figure out the best method for the drumline and the band uniforms and equipment to fit into the trailers.  This will allow the students to pack the trailers quicker after home games for the competitions the next day.

Upcoming dates:
Sept 20 – Home football game
Sept 26 – Homecoming parade
Sept 27 – Homecoming football game
Sept 28 – Park Hill marching festival
Oct 3 – LSWMP meeting

Go Titans!

Fireworks

The LSW Music Parent Firework Tent is open for business. The tent is located on the west side of LSW and is open from 7am to 11pm.

There are still several open shifts on July 3rd and 4th. Please consider volunteering if you are available. If you are not able to work at the tent, we would love to see at the tent purchasing fireworks for your holiday fun. We have a huge selection of fantastic fireworks.

If you have volunteered to work at the tent, just show up at the tent at your scheduled time. The previous shift volunteers will give you an overview of everything that you need to know. There is also a binder with all of the written documentation just in case you need it.

Please let me know if you have any questions!
