January 30, 2018 Campus Messenger - Orchestra Updates

1.  Cheesecake Order Forms - Order forms and payment for the cheesecake fundraiser are due tomorrow, January 31st.  Please have all checks made out to MHSBOPA, and be ready to pick up cheesecakes after school on February 13th. 2. StringFever is coming up next week TUESDAY 2/6.  Students will be attending a clinic during the day with the gents and performing on the concert that evening.  Performing students get into the concert for free and all others are $10 general admission.  If that would put a strain on family finances, we can create ticket scholarships for families--just let me know.  Going to be an exciting night!  Hey, students: dress for the night is your BLUE ORCHESTRA SHIRT! 3. Volunteer at Solo/Ensemble - Parents: sign up HERE to volunteer at Solo and Ensemble on February 24th.  It's going to be another incredible year with over 550 performances by Middleton High School students alone!  We are always in particular need of room monitors.  A few students still owe their fees--please get those taken care of as soon as possible or talk to me if there a reason for the delay. 4. We need a couple of parent volunteers to help with the State Honors auditions here at MHS on Saturday 2/10.  We need a couple of people to put together a small breakfast for the judges and another couple to put together a lunch.  All costs are reimbursed.  Please let me know if you can help. 5. Minneapolis Trip Final Payment - Final payments for the Minneapolis Tour are due Friday, February 9th.  Most participants owe $174, but many students have funds in their student accounts that will be applied toward that balance.  Click here to see your balance due.  All parent chaperones owe $174.

December 8, 2017 Campus Messenger - Looking for a few more fruit sale volunteers!

Hi. We are still in need of a few more parent volunteers for tomorrow morning for some 8:00am - 12:00 pm shifts. It’s very likely that we would need fewer volunteers around 11:30am so the shift would be shorter. Please consider it, even if you cannot stay the entire time, just make a note of it. Please visit   http://goo.gl/v8SdAq to sign up if you are able to help supervise.

Positions still open:  Order Checking Supervisor: The student teams will fill the orders and then escort the parents and cart(s) to the exit door, where you will be waiting to check the load on the cart against the order form. Any discrepancies must be resolved before the cart can proceed to loading.

Vehicle Loading Supervisor: Supervise the loading of the vehicles. The students will do the heavy lifting. You will be asked to provide one last accuracy check. Dress warm. Student volunteers will bring you hot beverages to warm up and, if we have enough volunteers, you will be able to come inside periodically to warm up. You are our last interaction with the parents picking up the fruit!

Thank you!

Sincerely,  Fruit Sale Committee, BOPA & the Band & Orchestra teachers
