May 10th Meeting!

Thank you so much to everyone who came to the Disney meeting this week. We had a great turnout and were able to get a lot done! For anyone who missed it – you can access the informational PowerPoint here.

You can also access the original pink Disney Trip packet here. 
Packet includes all Disney related info, packing list, expectation, ect.

We have most of the information we need from most of the families participating. Please be sure you have turned in the following:

Student Behavior Contract (yellow)

Medical Form -with insurance information (pink)

Parent Contact Info/Behavior expectations signed by parent (pink) (Page 7-8)

I started a Pinterest board with helpful information tips, tricks and hacks here.

There is also a closed Facebook group.  This is for parents and students to keep updated before and during the trip. Look for the page here or watch for the email adding you to the group!

Meeting highlights:

Minnie and Friends - Students may sign up for an optional character breakfast for Saturday morning. This includes a full service all you can eat buffet breakfast while interacting with the Disneyland characters. Be sure you have a camera and maybe even something for them to autograph!! The additional cost is $32 per person. Sign up with Mrs. Rush by May 16^th in order to be in on the reservation!

Rides from PDX to Seaside - Instead of paying another $600 for a bus – we will be carpooling back to Seaside after our trip. We need drivers!!! If you are able to drive, please text Rebecca Bell 503-707-1089.

Phone numbers – We are compiling a list of all phone numbers the students will be using at Disneyland! Make sure you are on the list!

Our trip is coming up FAST! We are excited to have this opportunity to perform and travel with your students! Everyone has worked hard for years to get to this point - and we are almost there! THANK YOU!

Looking towards May 10th

Successful Bunco Night!

 WE RAISED ALMOST $300!!!

THANK YOU to everyone who participated in our Bunco Party last night. The Hillcrest House looked fabulous and Ruth Swenson pulled out all the stops for us. Thanks to Subway, Pig N Pancake and Wine & Beer Haus for their food and wine donations! Thanks also to local businesses who donated prizes. Everyone who came had a great time! We are now collecting donations for our May 23rd final concert and auction/raffle that will take place there. We will also be having a concessions booth.

Bunco Night!

Hey all!

Just a reminder of our BUNCO NIGHT fundraiser! Tonight! Grab a friend or two or three...

$20 to play. Lots of prizes and food and drinks!

Karaoke & Gelato Fundraiser

ENORMOUS THANKS to Sea Star Gelato for opening their doors. They rounded up our portion of the sales to an even $500! Which in addition to our $200 in donations from "scare"-aoke, top of the list bribes and community generosity - makes over $700 in our 4 hour fundraiser!

Amber Clyde and daughters singing Annie

Our Fundraiser was AWESOME! Thanks to all who participated! Whether it was Mrs. Rush singing country or Lena Soprano singing Frozen, we all had a great time! Thanks to all who stopped by for gelato and karaoke. Because of you -- we raised just over $700 towards our trip. This makes it so students don't have to pay for the new costumes! We will also be getting trip t-shirts for everyone - at no cost to the students!

Karaoke & Gelato Party!!!

TONIGHT! TELL EVERYONE YOU KNOW!

On April 1^st from 5-9pm Sea Star Gelato is hosting a fundraiser for us. They will be donating 50% of the proceeds of the night to the choir trip. We will also have karaoke and music during that time, including a performance by the Jazz Choir at 7pm. Come by to sing, dedicate or request a song and enjoy the best gelato in town.

Deadline Approaches!

Upcoming Deadline!

You should have gotten a letter in the mail over Spring Break. If not, please contact Mrs. Rush ASAP! April 12^th is our next solid deadline! Thankfully, the entire amount isn’t due at this time. Each student will need at least $375 in their account by April 12^th AND turn in the purple paper indicating that we are buying the plane ticket for your student. Buying a plane ticket will secure your students place on the trip and if there is any balance left after fundraising, you will be responsible for paying that balance whether or not your student goes on the trip.

We still need to fundraise about $3000 in order for our trip expenses to be fully covered. We have some fundraisers planned – do what you can to spread the word!!

April 1^st 5-9pm – Sea Star Gelato – Karaoke and Gelato party!
