Just a quick reminder that the music parent meeting is on December 5th at 7pm. We’ll be discussing the Washington DC trip, Taste of Lee’s Summit, information from the music directors and how we’re supporting the music program.
I try not to send out emails anymore than needed but please see below for assistance that’s needed.
Taste of Lee’s Summit:
Mark Hereford has already graciously offered to donate his valuable time to be on the committee for this event but we’re in need of another volunteer or two. This is a short term commitment as the 15th annual Taste of Lee’s Summit is being held on March 1st, 2014. We need a small committee to help coordinate getting donations to be auctioned off and to recruit volunteers; you’ll receive all the information needed at the planning meeting.
The Lee’s Summit Education Foundation is a nonprofit organizon dedicated to raising private funds to help support programs within the Lee’s Summit R-7 School District. For more detailed information on their mission and what they do for the community please visit www.lsedfoundation.com. Not only does participating in this great function benefit the community and our school disctrict the music parents get a donation that goes towards our operating budget.
There will be a planning meeting held on Monday, December 9th from 5:15pm-7:00pm at the Stansberry Leadership Center with a light dinner served. If you’re interested please let me know so that I can get your RSVP to the Foundation for the meeting.
Look for more information to be coming in my December informational email once I get that from the committee.
Go Titans!

Don’t forget Christmas in the Park is this Friday!
Our organization was selected to help Jackson County with the Christmas in the Park light display at Longview Lake. In turn for providing volunteers to collect donations, the LSW Music Parent group will receive a portion of the monies collected for the general fund…up to $1,000! We could still use a few more volunteers.
The details are:
* Day — Friday, November 29th
* Time — 5:00pm to 11:00pm
* Where — Longview Park
In order to receive our share of the funds we have to have at least 6 adults there at all times. Children 16 and older can also volunteer, but no one under the age of 16 can assist.
We can split the night into shifts; however, any volunteers that come after the park opens will need to wait in the line of cars to get to the park. The Friday after Thanksgiving will be a very busy night so that will make it difficult to volunteer for only the second part of the night. If you would like to volunteer for the just the second part of the evening, please let me know (I think I have Plan B that will work and only involves a short walk thru the woods.)
You can sign up to volunteer in Charms:

Greetings!
There are a couple of upcoming volunteer opportunities. Please sign up in Charms if you can assist.
Cookie Dough Fundraiser — Cookie dough will be delivered to the school on Nov. 7th. Andrea Kaiser will need assistance in sorting the cookie dough and distributing cookie dough for pickup. Shifts are from 1:00pm to 3:00pm and 3:00pm to 6:00pm.
Christmas in the Park — The LSW Music Parent group has been given the opportunity to assist Jackson County with the Christmas in the Park display at Longview Lake. In exchange for manning the donation buckets and distributing candy to everyone that comes through the park on a given night, our group will be given up to $1,000 for the general fund. Our group has been assigned Nov. 29th from 5:00pm to 11:00pm. This is the Friday after Thanksgiving, so I know a number of people will be out of town, but if you are in town please consider volunteering. It should be a fun night! (Note: children under the age of 16 are not allowed to participate in this volunteer opportunity. We can have some students that are at 16, but the majority of the volunteers must be adults.) Also, if a certain local football team is playing for the state championship, then that game will occur on Sat. Nov. 30th J
Thank you for all of the support that you provide the LSW music program!

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 ,

The LSW Music Parent group will once again be selling fireworks at the high school. This is a great fundraiser for our organization and we need everyone’s help to make it a great success. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go to the LSWMP general fund.
A training session will be held June 24th at Pyro City in Lone Jack, Mo. This training session is optional, but it is a great place to learn how to run the cash registers and to learn more about fireworks that we will be selling this year.
Volunteer Opportunities:
June 30th Setup: The truck will be at the school at 7 a.m. and we need lots of volunteers to help set up the tent. If you are available during this time, please sign up to help.
July 1st to July 4th Fireworks: There are several three-hour shifts throughout each day; please sign up for a shift to assist with selling fireworks.
July 4th Packup: Again we will need lots of volunteers to help tear everything down; the more volunteers that we have, the faster it will get done. If you are available; please sign up to help.
The volunteer sign-up schedule has been added to the Charms calendar. To sign up:
Go to www.charmsoffice.com
Select Enter in the upper right-hand corner and then select Parents/Students/Members
Enter school code: lswhsmusic
Click on the Public Calendar icon
Go to the day that you wish to volunteer and click on the hand
STUDENTS:
Once again we are offering a special LIMITED opportunity for the first 7 students to volunteer to setup and packup. Students that sign up for the special STUDENT ONLY shifts will earn $15 per 2 hour shift. This money will be deposited directly to their student account.
Students can earn Community Volunteer hours by volunteering at the tent. You must be 18 or older to work the cash register, but students can re-stock merchandise and assist customers.
Thank you!

Hello,
I have more cards if your students have orders that need to be filled or would like to sale.
I will be at the school in a practice room tomorrow, Monday Nov. 5 from 1:30 to 2:45.
Then again from 5:00 till about 6:15.
I will also be at the school Wednesday , Nov. 7 from 9:45 till around 12:30.
Remember that the kids make a 60% profit off of every card they sell.
If these times do not work for you or your student please contact me And we can work something out.
Thank you,

We have another great fundraiser available for students.
We are partnering with City Sampler to sell coupon cards for Sheridan’s Frozen Yogurt and Papa Murphy’s Pizza. Cards sell for $10 each and students will make a $6 profit from each card sold. These cards are a great value. The Sheridan’s card offers savings of $60 and the Papa Murphy’s card has a value of $94. The cards are valid in Lee’s Summit store locations.
Students will sign out cards and will be responsible for any cards that they sign out. They will need to turn in $10 for each card sold or return any unsold cards by November 12 (in two weeks). The value of any unaccounted for cards will be turned into the office and a fine will be assessed to the student. All fines will need to be paid before the student can enroll for classes next year.
I will be at school on Monday, October 29, from 8 a.m. to 12 p.m. in a practice room to sign out cards to students.
Remember, all fundraisers are voluntary; students can choose which fundraisers in which they wish to participate.
Thank you for your continued support of the great kids in the music department.
