Mid-September update

Did you know that we leave for Florida in less than 180 days? It seems like a lot but with as busy as things are around here, it will be time to go before we know it!

I have been talking to some of the kids going on the trip and asking them what they are looking forward to doing while we are in Florida. Ian H. says that he is excited to ride Space Mountain in Magic Kingdom. Jess L. says she is excited to go to all the mini musical shows in the parks. Sophie S. is excited to go to the beach.

Our next payment is due Oct. 1. Most of our students' payments will be covered by fundraising, but a few will need to make payments. Paw print fundraising money will not be added to accounts until after Oct. 11. If you need to know what to pay or how much is in your fund raising account check out the Florida Trip Group on My Big Campus (you will need to use your child's account) in the resources, there is a spread sheet with the information. Use your student number (in JMC where you check their grades, or on their report card is their student number. It is at the top after the school year....for example Kim Medick         2013-2014        #999.) to find your account. If you have questions please let Miss Medick know.

We are continuing to sell paw prints and house numbers at two more games, 9/27 at the homecoming football game and 10/1 at the home volleyball game. I could still use some helpers for the homecoming game, please let me know if you would like to help, 6:15-7:45 and 7:45 to the end of the game.

I will try and keep updating as we go. Thanks for stopping by.

Deposit is in!

Hello everyone,
Good News, our deposit is in the mail! We will have 34 students, 5 adults, and 2 directors traveling to Florida in March. We are so excited. Now that we know who is going on the trip with us, we should know the official cost of the trip soon. The next $100 payment will be due Oct. 1 and will include fund raising money. I will let everyone know what their payment will be.

We are also in the middle of our first fundraiser of the year. We are selling Paw Prints for your driveway or House Numbers for the curb. We will come and paint these in Oct. The paw prints come in purple of blue and cost $25 the house numbers are $10. We will also add a name or number to your paw print for $5, or touch up existing paws and numbers for $15 and $5 respectively. We are selling the next two weeks at the volleyball and football games so support our music students by showing your school spirit and tell your friends and neighbors to do the same.
