Band of Gold - Week of June 9

 Hello and Happy June!

I hope you are having a wonderful summer and enjoying the warmer temps we’ve been having. Even though the band isn’t meeting right now, I have a few updates to provide. 

Here is a quick recap to keep you in the know.

PEACHES FUNDRAISER

Our peaches fundraiser is still underway. This is a very good fundraiser for students to assist with paying for dues. 75% of profit from each box sold will be applied as a credit to student accounts. Orders are due June 20th. The peaches will be delivered in July and a finalized delivery date will be determined as we get closer, based on weather and crop. All orders should be submitted as one payment and recorded on this Google form. The flyer can be found by clicking HERE. If you have any questions, please contact our Fundraising Chair, Stephanie Hall, at mjbogfundraising@gmail.com.

CAR WASH

We are requesting permission to do another car wash fundraiser at West Wilson Middle School on Saturday, July 12, from 9:00 - 1:00pm. We raised more than $800 at the last car wash and a fun time was had by everyone who participated. Once we have final approval, I will be sending out a link to sign up. We will need both parents and students to help out. We had such a great turnout at the last one that we need to be able to have enough hands to do multiple wash and dry stations.

PARENT WORK DAY

Saturday, July 19th will be our second Parent Work Day. We start at 7:30am and go until noon (or earlier when the work gets done). To prepare for football season, we will move equipment and supplies from the band room and basketball concessions down to football. Mr. Cox is also great at giving us a list of other activities to do for the day!  This is an excellent way to meet parents and get acquainted before the fall season gets into full swing. Even if you cannot be there for the whole day - or you’re like me and normally not an early riser - you can joins us for an hour or two!

END OF CAMP COOKOUT

On July 24th, the Booster Board is holding an end of camp cookout to celebrate and thank everyone for making it through summer band camp. More details will be coming but this event is prepared to make a splash (hint, hint) and will provide entertainment for both families and students.
