Congratulations to our class of 2022 graduates, and to all the orchestra members for a great year! Have a great summer break, and we’ll see you again in the fall!

Please join us in person for our next booster meeting on Wednesday, April 20th at 7pm in the JMHS Orchestra room.  Feel free to enter through the orchestra door (its the one to the left of Door 11.)

Many of you had kids away this weekend enjoying the much-awaited spring trip! I am so thrilled they got to go somewhere this year after 2 years of missed opportunities.  I hope they had a fabulous time even in the chilly weather!

I’m writing to ask for your help to fully fund the orchestra boosters because we’ve only received about 50% of what has been contributed in past years. Two abnormal years due to COVID have depleted our reserves. The orchestra boosters club helps to provide support to the orchestra program throughout the year. Just some examples are:

·  New music for our orchestras, as pieces can be expensive to license and perform.

·  Additional guest instruction to help prepare for concerts and the assessments.

·  Uncovered expenses that allow students to participate in Senior Regional Orchestra and District Orchestra.

·  The Orchestra End-of-Year Awards Banquet.  This banquet is the perfect finish each year for our students and this year we will, once again, be able to celebrate together.

Ms. Eberly and the boosters greatly appreciate those who have been able to donate this year, however, anyone who hasn’t taken the opportunity to donate to the Orchestra Boosters Club will help restore our reserve.

Thoughtful contributions to the Orchestra Booster Club truly make a positive difference in the education and experience for each of our orchestra students. You can pay online via PayPal or Pay 4 School Stuff, or you can send a check to Mrs. Eberly. 

Thanks for your consideration,

Sonya Marsden
