In Case You Haven’t Heard  

The annual candy sale is in progress! This is our largest fundraiser of the year and we thank all orchestra families who are participating. The profits help fund various events and classroom purchases throughout the year. 

 During the past years our fundraising efforts have resulted in many events, including a fieldtrip to a Columbus Symphony concert for the Middle School and Junior High orchestra students, the annual hayride, ice skating party, spring picnic, and the Awards night. The funds have also been used for the purchase of a computer, a stereo system, and a Yamaha Clavinova piano for each school. Each school also benefits from the compact disc recordings and videotapes that are purchased for our listening library. Our candy sale profits fund many of the day-to-day necessities used in teaching orchestra students. Students can also earn camp/trip credit$ to help pay for summer music camps and the bi-annual high school trip. We hope all families will support this endeavor, since all students benefit directly from the monies earned.

Candy will be available for pickup on Wednesday, October 16 at the Reynoldsburg Junior High School between 3:00 and 7:00 P.M. Money must be turned in no later than Friday, October 25. Details for turning in money will be available when orders are picked up. Unfortunately, we had some problems last year. Undelivered candy and candy damaged by heat reduced our profits and the awards we were able to provide our students. We ask parents to help insure that the candy sold by their students is delivered and that care be taken not to allow the candy to be left in vehicles where the heat will spoil the candy.
