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...

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!

April 22^nd – 7-9pm – Hillcrest House – Bunco Night ($20 buy-in)

May 16^th – 7pm -Seaside High School – Jazz & Dessert Night

May 23^rd – 6:30pm - Seaside High School – Raffle and Auction at final concert

Fundraiser Update

Thank you to everyone who participated in the Krispy Kreme fundraiser. It was a very lucrative fundraiser for our students! We raised over $1800 toward Disneyland!!!!

We know that there were some issues with the donuts and orders coming a day later than anticipated. Thank you for your help and understanding. We learned a lot through this process and have some things in place in case something like this is done in the future. Our apologies for the inconvenience and frustration that was experienced. We are happy that so many students raised so much money toward their trip!

A HUGE THANK YOU also to those students and parents who contributed toward the bake sale auction! We understand that many of you not only made items but then purchased items made by someone else! We raised $439 toward our trip!

In talking about money - we still need about $3000 in order for the trip to be fully funded. We are working on several things in order to secure funding so that as many students as possible are able to participate. We have 2 solid fundraising dates on the calendar -

April 1st from 5-9pm -- Sea Star Gelato & Karaoke Party!

We will be having a gelato & karaoke party! There will also be a performance by the jazz choir! Sea Star Gelato is hosting our choir and as many people as we can get in the doors! They will be donating a portion of the proceeds of the sales to the choir trip to Disneyland! So put on your party hats and tell EVERYBODY!!!

May 23rd 7pm -- Final Concert Auction/Raffle

We will have a silent auction and raffle at our last concert! Invite everyone you know to hear the choir students perform as well as go home with some really cool stuff! Concessions will be available that night as well! So... bring your dollars! But more importantly, invite your friends to bring their dollars!!

Watch your mail this week for an update and contract to purchase airplane tickets!

Krispy Kreme Fundraiser

The next fundraiser will start this week! Students who wish to may pre-sell Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Mrs. Rush will have forms and envelopes with instructions for each student who chooses to participate in this fundraiser. Further instructions here

Students will be responsible for taking orders, keeping track of payments and delivering the doughnuts. This is an easy fundraiser with no cost to the choir. Krispy Kreme gives us the doughnuts at a discounted price. Once all orders are in, we will know how much of a profit we make and each student will have that money applied to their individual accounts. The more they sell - the more money they make!

Instructions:
   * Pick up an order form and money envelope from Mrs. Rush (or download one here)
   * Start taking orders and collecting money (suggestion - have parents take an order form to work!?)
   * DON'T LOSE THE ORDER FORMS OR MONEY!
   * Deliver fresh doughnuts to your clients!

Turn in all forms and money to Mrs. Rush by 4pm on Monday February 29th 

Doughnuts will be at the SHS lobby by 3pm on Thursday March 3rd. 

Suggestion - have your clients meet you at the school on that day or at the play that night to pick up their SUPER FRESH DOUGHNUTS!

Happy selling!
