Fundraising
The Booster Club works throughout the year to help meet the additional financial needs of the orchestra through fundraising. We welcome all suggestions and ideas for fundraising from Booster Club members. All fundraisers however, must be approved by the school principal. We strongly encourage all students to participate in every fundraising opportunity.
Volunteers
The Booster Club needs volunteers in order to provide the support to our students & director to make the Orchestras successful, as a result we need all parents to sign up for at least two (2) events.
