Welcome to the SPFHS Choral program! We have an exciting year ahead of us
and we have already begun rehearsing and preparing for performance
opportunities. While sounding good is our priority, looking good is also
important. All choir members are required to purchase a choir uniform in
order to participate in performances.
Below is an outline of the prices for the choral uniforms.
Please read carefully and complete the form. In order to secure a uniform
for your child, we are asking that the form and check be mailed to the
address on the order form no later than October 15, 2008. Thank you
for your support and I look forward to a great year of music with your
children.

Golf Outing Basket Raffle
Before we know it, we will be teeing up for the Annual Music Boosters
Golf Outing and Dinner. One successful aspect of the evening is the Basket
Raffle and last year through the generous donations of many merchants in our
towns we were able to assemble these donations into baskets to raise
additional funds for our program. This year, rather than soliciting local
merchants as most other non-profits in town do, we are reaching out to our
Music Booster families to donate baskets filled with prizes.
Please consider donating a theme filled basket valued anywhere from $25.00
to $100.00. An easy way to do this is to join with another family to create
a special basket or donate a gift certificate from area stores or
restaurants. You might even work for an organization or merchant who would
consider donating a prize for our raffle! Some ideas would be: Games Basket
(filled with assorted classic board games for all ages, Mom and Dad’s night
out (basket with a $50 gift certificate to a local restaurant, and a bottle
of wine), Comedy Movie Night (2 classic comedy movies, pop corn and soft
drinks) or a $100 gift certificate to The Gap, Lord&Taylor or Sports
Authority. Everyone donating baskets will be recognized in the Golf Outing
program.
We would like to continue this fun part of our evening at the dinner
following the Golf Outing.
Please contact me if you will participate or need additional ideas for your
own unique donation.
Thank you.
