Greetings Boosters,
Highlights from last week
Tag Day #2. The students went into the neighborhoods surrounding Hayfield in force to collect Tag Day donations for a second weekend. Forty five students participated and collected over $5200 for the day. Tag Day #1 receipts were $6040. In addition, over $900 arrived by mail from the Sorry We Missed You envelopes that students distributed throughout the community during Tag Day #1.
Tag Day is our major fundraiser. Congratulations to all who made Tag Day 2013 a success. Special thanks to Tag Day coordinators Michelle Booth, Ellen Hishta and Janaia DeShields. Finally, thanks to the many volunteers, including:
- Drivers: Catherine Kingsley, Michelle Paxton, John Hishta, Ron Schmidt, Kristy Baik, Melvin Cloud, Carlos Pinta, Simon John, Julie Barber, Ellen Hishta, and Sherri Tupik
- Food Donations: Ellen Hishta, Catherine Kingsley, Rafael Quezada, Kristy Moon, Sylvia Fischer, Nancy Harris, Mary Beth Williams
- Tallying donations. Liz Brent, Theresa Larsen, Ellen Hishta, Janaia DeShields and Lisa Stevenson
- Uniform Repairs: Bobbi Yoshida
Notes for the Upcoming Week
First Home Football Game. Our first home game is scheduled for Friday night, 20 September. The Band will practice after school from 2:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. The Band Room will be open for the students after practice and they will be able to wait there until game time. At 5:00 p.m., the Band Boosters will provide pizza and drinks for the pre-game meal.
Football games require a lot of Booster support. We are still looking for volunteers to help with the pizza dinner, uniform distribution and equipment movement. Please go to Signup Genius and let us know where you will help.
Other Notes
Spirit Wear. The Spirit Wear order was finalized this weekend. We expect the items to be shipped the week of 23 September. We're hoping that our items will arrive in time for the game against Washington/Lee, 27 September.
Become a Band Patron. You can support the band program with a Band Booster membership. Annual membership is $10 per person or $20 per family. For a donation of $30 or more, you will be designated a patron and recognized on the concert programs. Your contributions help to defray the costs of music, uniforms and instruments. All donations are tax deductible. I am attaching a 2013-14 membership form. If you are interested, please place your completed form and your contribution in the Band Booster box that is located in the Band Room.
E-mail. If you know someone who should be getting our e-mails, please ask them to send me a note to Hawkbandbooster@aol.com. Likewise, if you do not wish to receive our e-mails, please send me a note.
HAWKS ROCK!
