End Of Year Updates

Friday, April 18th, 2008

Dear Orchestra Parents and Students,

We want to thank all of you for your wonderful support over the past school year. It has been another great year filled with outstanding music thanks to a talented director, hard-working students, and supportive parents. As we near the end of this school year, we’d like to ask your help with several things: 

    First, please attend our Spring Booster Meeting on Monday, April 28th at 7:15 p.m. in the Orchestra Room.
    Second, we would like to have our new board in place for next year. If you can partner with us in ways large or small, please call Paula Parker (714-854-9835) or respond to this email before April 28th. We can talk with you about the openings we have and find something that will be the perfect fit for you.
    Third, our primary way of raising money throughout the school year is our scrip program. Thanks so much to all of you who have faithfully ordered scrip. A few have been very dedicated, but in all honesty, most have not participated much at all. This year we only brought in one-third of the amount that we raised last year. We would be extremely grateful if you would consider placing a large scrip order prior to the end of this school year. Your student can pick up the order form in the classroom. Orders will be placed on April 25, May 9, and May 23. Remember that every dollar you spend on scrip can be used in the stores of your choice. You do not lose a penny on this deal and the orchestra gets a nice percentage from the companies. So please help us with any size order that you can manage.

With many thanks,

Paula Parker & Christina Mueller
