2016 Play-A-Thon Fundraiser

During The SHS Lock-In on December 20th (6:00pm) into Dec 21st (6:00am-7:00am)
Play-A-Thon Fundraiser for the student's individual accounts:  How that works is by getting "pledges" to pledge money for every minute that student plays their instrument throughout the night.  For example, "Pledger #1" might pledge $0.50 per minute for 30 minutes of playing for "Student #1".  If "Student #1" plays all 30 minutes, I will sign their sheet saying they did so.  "Student #1" then goes back to "Pledger #1" and collects $15 for their work.  That money then must be turned into the Music Boosters and will go into "Student #1's" account.  This is a great way to make money for your account and to have fun playing with your friends.  Forms for the Play-A-Thon are in the band room and have been handed out to students.  Parents, if you are helping pay for the Disney Trip, this is a great way to have your student work towards going on the trip.  This is also a great way for grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins, etc. to help pay for the trip and know that the student is working towards it.  Family friends and neighbors might also be willing to help pitch in for the trip if they know the student is working towards it.  Go out there and get some pledges!
