RELIEF FOR HAITI

The Band Program will support Jordan High's effort to raise funds for the adoption of l'Ecole Elagantissma, a K-12 school in Haiti.  During our next two concerts (Feb. 16 Jazz Concert and March 18 Festival Concert) we will have a donation basket available for your contributions. While there is no admission fee to attend either concert, we are asking each participant to donate $5.00 for this very special fundraising activity. All proceeds (100%) will go towards the relief effort.

Please come out to support the band and Haiti! If you cannot make the concerts, we will accept your donations on behalf of the JHS effort.  Donations can be sent to Mr. Weiss or mailed to the Boosters at the address below.  All checks should be made payable to Jordan High School. More information about Jordan's support and adoption of l'Ecole Elagantissma is available on the JHS homepage.

Additional fundraising

  • In progress: Joe Corbi Pizza Kits. Orders due Feb. 26. Product arrives March 11.
  • In progress: We need 200 recipes to get the Jordan Band Cookbook published; we are just over the half-way mark.  Please help to make this a success by contributing your favorite recipes. They can be submitted online 24/7. Online submission is easy (see below) and by using online submissions, we increase our profit margin for each book.
