fund raisers

  • Citrus Sale

The band sold 1157 boxes of fruit with the recent Indian River Fruit sale. Thanks to all who purchased and sold. Fruit will be delivered to JHS on Saturday, December 13; students are required to assist with unloading the truck. Arrival time TBD.  Mr. Weiss will have sign-up for time slots. 

  • MARY KAY FUNDRAISER FOR THE BAND

Marva Hicks, Terrell's mother, is offering to give the band $15 for every Mary Kay Satin Hands Pampering Set sold to band families. These $30 gift sets include hand scrub, hand cream and night cream. This would make a perfect Christmas gift for someone on your list, while giving a gift to the band at the same time.  To order, e-mail Marva at marvapam@aol.com.  Pre-Christmas orders need to be placed by December 12 and can be picked up at the holiday concert on December 18.

  • HONEYBAKED HAM GIFT CERTIFICATES

Help the band and your Christmas list at the same time!  The band has $10 and $25 HoneyBaked Ham gift certificates for sale.  Use them for your holiday dinner or give them as gifts for family, teachers, neighbors and others on your list.  Plus, it's a convenient and easy way to help the band this holiday season. To order, email Julie Frybarger at fryguys@nc.rr.com and let her know how many and which amounts you want.  Purchase of gift certificates is ongoing, but you must order by December 15 for pickup at the band's holiday concert on December 18. You can arrange to get yours earlier, if needed.

We want to remind students, families and friends to use the GoodSearch charity search engine to help raise funds for the band all year long. Searches and purchases made on GoodSearch earn funds for the JHS band account. Set your homepage to GoodSearch and/or remember to use it when performing searches or making purchases. We earn 1 penny per search and can also earn up to 37% of purchases made using Goodshop (goodsearch), depending on the vendor. Consider doing your online holiday shopping using Goodshop and raise money for the band at the same time.
