Fundraising Update

The SFMMS Band and choir have done phenomenally well with the discount cards. We are in the process of wrapping the project up and it appears that we are going to end up selling right around 1,000 cards after everything is settled. Great work!

We also want to update you with on a few dates that are upcoming this semester. First of all, because of the weather-related school cancellations last week, we will not have Presidents Day off on February 19th. We will, however still have Good Friday off on April 6th. The last day of the school year will now be Monday May 28th.

We have our All Star Band trip to Fiesta Texas planned for May 5th. We are still developing an itinerary for the Elementary Tour, but that will be in late April or early May. We are doing our very best to ensure that there are no conflicts with the GT trip to Houston. Those students who wish to participate in these trips must be sure that they have earned 100 All Star points. Additionally, no students who fails a class on the fourth or fifth six weeks report cards will be allowed to go. Further All Star points may be earned with scale pass-offs between now and Spring Break. Those scale sheets are being passed out this week.

We have already heard from a handful of parents who would like to go to San Antonio with us, but if you are interested in joing us, we still have room for more parents!
