Thank you so much for supporting our annual band fundraiser! We raised $2,210 and this will go toward subsidizing all our spring field trips and events. I will let you know when orders are ready to be picked up at the school (guaranteed to be by the end of the month).

Early Morning Band

Tuesday: I will be out of the building all day so early a.m. and after school practices are canceled and rescheduled to Friday. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.

Wednesday: Grade 8 early am band

Thursday: Grade 9 early morning band

Friday: Grade 7 early am band and Jazz Band after school from 3:00-4:00pm.

Grade 9 Band Trip

We are currently awaiting final approval from the PSB for our upcoming band trip scheduled for Thursday, April 23 through Friday, April 24. The proposed itinerary includes a performance at the Truro Music Festival, as well as a band clinic at Mount Allison University, with an overnight stay in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

To help offset costs, a $65 fundraising credit will be applied for each student. This reduces the individual cost of the trip to $165 per student.

I will share the itinerary and payment details as soon as approval is confirmed. I apologize for the delay and thank you for your patience!

We have raised $1697.20 so far, and the Anne’s Chocolate campaign has been extended to the end of the day on Wednesday, March 11th.

***Orders will arrive before Easter…CHIPPY BUNNIES would make a great gift for anyone, and purchases will help to support your favourite band students!***
