Grade 8 Band – Quick Fundraising Opportunity

Posted on by

The Grade 8 Band Students have been asked to help move chairs to the gym for the Eastern Area Teacher’s Association meeting happening on Friday, May 2. In return, the EATA will give an honorarium to the band program (proceeds will be used to supplement the cost of the 2025 Band trip).

If your child can move chairs after school on Thursday, May 2 from 3:00 – 4:00, and/or move chairs out of the gym on Friday, May 3 from 3:00 – 4:00 they can sign up on the google doc that is posted in google classroom. Mrs. Lavoie will be overseeing the students’ participation in this fundraiser.
