I can not stress enough how much money our band parents are earning in their child's band account by purchasing gift cards to use for every day purchases.  I see families ordering restaurant cards and grocery cards and earning $30-$50 per order.  

If you are not set up to order you still have time to start an account.

If you want to pay with Presto Pay, that must be set up in advance. It takes about 5 days to get approval.
Once approved, send Debbie Henton the approval code and she will activate your Presto Pay account on Shopwithscrip.com.
Otherwise, if paying by check or cash, enter your order online at shopwithscrip.com and send payment to the school or get it to Debbie
(if she goes online and does not see an order, she does NOT go to the school to look for orders or checks).

Hello Parents!  We are ready to get going on our next fundraiser..... Flamingo Flocking.

 

Here's how it works:  

For a donation of $30.00 to the FHS Band, a yard of the customer's choice will be flocked with 25 flamingoes sometime during the evening.  The flock will remain in place for 24 hours, with a catchy sign that says "You've Been Flocked".  A note of explanation for the "victim" will be attached to the sign or around the neck of one of the birds.  The next evening, the flock will be picked up and returned to their home base.

For a $10 donation to the FHS band, anti-flocking insurance can be purchased.  This protects the designated yard for a period of 60 days, at which time the insurance policy will expire and the yard becomes free territory once again.

We will have two flocks of 25 so we can flock two houses per night.  Each flocking will require a two person team.  There are sign up sheet in the band room for students to sign up to be "a Flocker".

Once a team is assigned to a mission, they are responsible for placing the birds on the first evening, picking up the birds on the second evening, cleaning the birds if necessary and returning the birds to their home base.

Each student on the team will receive $15.00 for each flocking to put towards their band fees or band trip.  Any flocking insurance collected goes to purchasing and maintaining the birds.

The goal is for people to see the flocked yards and then want to pay to have their friends or family's yards flocked.  Hopefully this will snowball into a huge demand for our "Pink Ladies".  We will be sending flyers to our feeder schools to broaden our customer base.  The flyer is attached for anyone that would like to let others know about this very "fun" fundraiser.

Amy Benson and Stephanie Kelly are the team leaders on this fundraiser.  Feel free to contact them with questions or comments.

Happy "Flocking"
