Parents- please create your child's link, then SHARE THEIR PERSONALIZED LINK ONLINE ON SOCIAL MEDIA, THROUGH TEXTS, AND THROUGH EMAILS TO FRIENDS AND FAMILY.
This is how we grow our band fund and also allows them access to our big fundraiser party coming up this Friday, September 11th. The directors can see how many times their link has been shared online, through text, or through emails. Students with the most shares get to pie teachers in the face!!
