Fundraising

The music boosters help students raise funds to help offset the costs of musical things like private lessons, department trips and musical supplies. Money earned by individual students is deposited in the school activity accounts and balances are managed by the music department. Though there is not a music department trip this year, there will be one next year and you may begin to raise money now to pay for that trip or other musical needs.

Here are the details of current and upcoming fundraising opportunities.
