McDonald's Fundraiser 3/25

The PSHS Bands will be holding a fundraiser at the McDonalds at Caton Farm and Essington Rd. today (3/25) from 4:30-6:30pm. 20% of the profits will go to the PSHS Bands!

Patrons must present a coupon (available online here) when they purchase a meal. Please come out to support the band program!

Money raised will go towards a future purchase of new marching band uniforms. Each new uniform can cost upwards of $400, so an order of 200+ uniforms gets expensive. Every little bit helps, so please come out to McDonalds tonight!
