Fundraising Opportunities

Entertainment Books

Entertainment Books are available near the beginning of the school year.  See Denise Kennedy at (314) 487-4046 or kkbbcrazy@sbcglobal.net  or Robin Israel at (314) 892-3186 or hgisrael@charter.net to get books for yourself or to sell to friends, relatives, and neighbors. No money is required up front!  Take all the books you want; return the unsold books and $25 for each book sold. (Returned books must be in “like new” condition.  Band account funds cannot be used to purchase Entertainment Books.)  The more books we sell, the more profit we make per book.

For certificates, prepare a note listing the stores for which you want certificates and the amount and denominations for each store.  Be sure to include the STUDENT’S name.  Put the note and a check payable to “MHS Band Parents” in an envelope marked “Grocery Certificates.”  DO NOT COMBINE WITH OTHER PAYMENTS.  Have your student deposit the envelope in the band safe by Wednesday of any week, and they will receive the certificates on Friday.  If you prefer, you can also contact Bob Fyfe:  home phone: (314) 892-7802; cell phone:  (314) 974-7825; or e-mail:    refyfe@yahoo.com.

 

If you sell certificates to friends or relatives, please have them write their check to you, and then you write a check to MHS Band Parents for the total.  We cannot accept checks from non-band members.  Certificates that are lost or stolen cannot be replaced.  Please be sure your child knows to safeguard them like cash.
