Popcorn Sale 2023 is Finished! We blew through our goal of $2,800.00 of profit and get to keep
$3, 446.00
Thank you so much! Of that amount, $764.00 is donations. Totally amazing and overwhelming. I also need to thank you so much that you sent in checks instead of cash this year. I told every class how much less stress I felt, and I know our bookkeeper really appreciates it! We expect popcorn to arrive in about 3 weeks and sorting and pickup often happens around conferences. I will keep you updated.
We have separate funding for buses in field trips, because of the support of our building budget, but will likely be running through that after March and need to use our fundraising money. Thank you, Principal Rick Sola for the initial support and to YOU to help make sure we don't run out!
Due to fundraising, we could: Send all 3 All State singers by paying their $70.00 fee for them- February 2024 Paid for 16 singers to take part in the December Regional Honors Choir, $12 a singer Support Mrs. Binek so she could chaperone the All State students in Wichita; this is $200 of membership fees, plus travel and conference fees; often this comes out of teacher's own money even though we are required to attend. Send 50 students and parents to Lyric Opera KC's Romeo et Juliette dress rehearsal ($300)- March 2024
Purchase: An enormous amount of music this year: all Honors & All State singers (31 students x 5 songs) got music supplied for them Each choir has sung at least 2 newly purchased songs this year so far Most of those have also had professional-made teaching audio tracks - $12-15 per song Those get uploaded to Google Classroom so students can prepare at home or on the road! All new songs for Pop Show in May 2024 Backing Tracks (sometimes $30 a song!) for any Pop Song that needs it Things: Decorating for 5th grade festival plus treats to send home with them Refurbished Yeti microphone for recording our choirs Washable cups with lids and straws that will get custom vinyl labels; those are for our straw exercises that help quickly warm us up! Great that these can go in the top rack of the dishwashers here at school.
