Bulldog Jog: Donate and Cheer for Your Bulldog
PTO's only fundraiser, the Bulldog Jog, is October 9! We aim to raise $25,000 to support our annual budget for teacher grants, special building projects, and family events. We appreciate all pledges from family and friends. Please return check or cash donations in the student envelopes that came home this week, or donate online via our GoFundMe. Note: if you donate online, a small percentage goes to the online platform. Thank you for your support!

All students will participate in the October 9 event regardless of monetary contributions and caregivers are invited to cheer on their Bulldogs.

All Chelsea music families are automatically members of the Chelsea Music Boosters!

Our mission is to advocate for high-quality music education, raise funds for Chelsea’s school music programs, assist our Music Directors, and promote the value of music throughout the community.

From elementary music classes through high school band, choir, and orchestra, Chelsea students enjoy a wide range of opportunities. Music education not only brings joy but also strengthens language development, improves focus, and supports learning across subjects.

Thanks to our donors and volunteers, the Music Boosters help provide:

• Group travel for student performances

• Guest artists, clinicians, and coaches

• Instrument repair and replacement

• New music

• Scholarships, awards, and student recognition

• The Senior Music Banquet and other special events

Thank you for supporting music education in Chelsea!

Reading matters to us, and so does your child. Our goal is 20mins of reading at home each night. There are so many ways to do it, and any exposure or time spent with books is worth it. We are here to partner with you.
