Oct. Update

October Update:

Fundraising:

  • Butterbraids: Butterbraids are HERE! We will start selling butterbraids Today (Sept. 25). Our company has given us a new flavor this year, a Four Cheese and Herb Butter braid with Marinara dipping sauce, so that will be exciting. Orders are due back to school Oct. 10. We will deliver to ACKLEY only on Nov. 2, so they will be in before Thanksgiving. Make checks out to AGWSR. 
  • Sunglasses: We are still working on selling sunglasses. If you know of anyone who wants a pair or two let me know and I will get you set up. We will probably try and sell at a couple of winter events. They would make great stocking stuffers! 
  • Concessions:  We have 1 more event this fall, Volleyball Oct. 10. We will also do concessions at the home Wrestling events. To sign up for the volleyball game check out the Fall Fundraising doc shared with the students. 
  • All of this fundraising (Sunglasses, Concessions, and Butterbraids) will be applied to Nov. payment (Due Nov. 1)
Payment:
  • Our next payment is due Oct. 2 since Oct. 1 is on a Sunday. The payment is $200. Slips were given to the students earlier this week, but you can check out the doc on Google Classroom or contact me if you want to know what you owe. 
Travel Insurance:
  • Watch this week for information about trip insurance. Good News Tour and Travel (our travel company) has an insurance company they work with. It is up to each family to decide if you want travel insurance. 
Getting to know Mr Idler and Miss Medick: 
Since Mr. Idler is new this year I thought that I would do a little "getting to know you" segment about the newest member of the AGWSR music staff. Just to be fair, and because I am new to some of you too, I will fill it out as well!
