Poster Making for the Dance

Want to help volunteer, but can't make the dance or skate night?  

 

We will be making posters for the dance this Sunday from 2-4 at my house (39 Shady Hill Circle in Main Street). If you want to help make posters to hang around the school to let others know about the dance, feel free to drop in and make a poster.  This is a great chance to get your kids involved in our fundraising efforts.  I have all the supplies at my house, I just need some creative kids (or adults) to make the posters.  Any questions, feel free to call me at home - 445-0354 or on my cell at (913)240-8116.

 

Sincerely,

 

Barb Smith

Band Booster Meeting - March 8th (Thursday) - 7pm - Bandroom

Attention Parents,

Our next band booster meeting will be next Tuesday, March 8th at 7 p.m. in the bandroom.  This day change was necessary since the bands will be participating in the Large Group Performance Evaluations on Wed, Thurs, and Friday.  Please take time to review the minutes from February's meeting.  We will be taking nominations for next year's band booster officers at this meeting.  Please give this matter careful consideration.

 

Thank you,

Atlanta Trip - Chaperones

Winds Parents,

We do need to start collecting names of parents that are willing to be chaperones for the Atlanta trip (April 9-10).  You will need to pay for your hotel room (you may share a room with another chaperone if you wish) and your food.  There will be no other expenses for you and you should be able to ride one of the busses if you wish.

 

Specifically, we need parents who are willing to coordinate the Saturday morning breakfast on the road and another to plan the entertainment/refreshments at the hotel.  If you are willing to serve in either of these capacities, please note that when you volunteer to chaperone.

 

Thank you,

Kiersten

Skate Night/Dance Volunteers

Parents,

 

We are still in need of volunteer for both the skate night (March 11 from 7-10p.m.) and the after school dance (March 15 from 3-4:30). 

 

PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE email me back with your availability for one or both of these events.  They should be alot of fun and could be very profitable for the band program.

 

Attached as well are the minutes from February.  Please take a look at those for the latest band information.

Atlanta Trip Cost Update

Dear Parents,

I apologize for giving the wrong information yesterday. The cost of the trip, if you are not spending the night, is $105 per student, not $88 per student.  I was using the wrong information to determine the cost.  We still need all but $20 of that paid by March 5th.  We are hoping to defray the cost of all who volunteer by at least $20 depending on the fund raisers.  Thank you for all of your help and I ask your forgiveness for sending out the wrong information yesterday.  Once again though, please let us know if you will not be spending the night, so that we can reserve the correct number of rooms.

 

Sincerely,

 

Barb Smith

Treasurer

Atlanta trip fees are due-from the Treasurer

Dear Winds Parents,

The first payment (of $50) for the Atlanta trip was due on Feb 20th.  If you have not yet made your payment, please do so as soon as possible. The next payment of $50 is due on March 5th.  It is mandatory for your child to ride the bus to Atlanta, but you may take them home after the awards ceremony.  If your child will not be spending the night, please let us know as soon as possible, as we need to put a deposit down on the hotel.  The cost for the trip, if the student is not spending the night, is $88.  We will need $68 paid by March 5th. Adults, wishing to stay the night, are welcome to join us at the Quality Inn and Suites in Morrow, GA.  When calling, ask to be put with the Richmond Hill Middle School Parents group, and this will get you the room discount. Please remember, we are sponsoring a skate night on March 11th and the dance on March 15th.  If you want your child to receive part of the discount towards overall costs, then please have them available to volunteer for at least one of these events.  We still need parent volunteers for both of these events as well. If the fund raisers are not as successful as we hope, the final payment will be due on March 23.  We will let you know how much will still be due, after we have tallied the profits from the fund raisers. Thank you in advance for your help and participation.

Parents, if you have any questions about whether your payment has been received, please contact me at BarbaraSmith4424@msn.com.

Thank you,

Barb Smith

RHWBB Treasurer
