Announcements for week of 10/22

1. Coldstone Creamery Fundraiser-- On Tuesday, October 30, Mr. Dortwegt and Mr. Cook, along with a select number of students, will be at Coldstone Creamery in Shorewood working the counter from 6-9pm. The tips from the evening's sales will go to the PSHS Band Boosters. Student helpers for this event will selected based on who volunteered to work the most hours at this weekend's craft show (see below). So...come out, have some ice cream, laugh at your directors a little :) and support the boosters!
2. Band Boosters Fall Craft Show-- The annual fall booster craft show is this weekend, hosted at Plainfield Central High School. Hours for the show are Saturday (9am-4pm) and Sunday (10am-3pm). There will be an incredible amount of crafts and gift ideas, and all proceeds will be split amongst the three Plainfield high school band booster organizations. Students can sign up to help at school. Parents, if you are interested in helping with the craft show, please contact Mr. Cook. Thank you to Mr. And Mrs. Westfall, Margie Bonuchi, and everyone else involved in organizing this event!
3. Scrip-- A new fundraiser for the band program starts this month and will continue through the school year. Scrip is a term that means “substitute money”. When you purchase scrip, you’re purchasing prepaid cards that are used just like cash. You can use scrip to purchase everyday expenses like food, clothing, and other essentials, and with every purchase, you earn revenue for the band boosters. The best part is there is no additional cost to you, aside from the initial purchase. For instance, you might spend $50 for a Jewel card. You retain that entire value when you shop a Jewel, and Jewel donates a percentage to the PSHS Band Boosters. If you are interested in this fundraiser, please obtain a handout at school. You can also e-mail our wonderful Scrip coordinators (Susan Janasik and Karen Kelly) at PSHSBandScrip@yahoo.com.
4. Uniform Cleaning Fee-- $15 should be turned in as soon as possible. Please see previous announcements for more information.
5. Student Debt-- There are still many students with outstanding debt from the marching band season. Please check with a director to see what you owe and let us know a timetable for payment. Thanks!
