I want to thank everyone for your cooperation with the popcorn sales turn in! “Drive thru boostering” seemed to work pretty well and it was nice to see so many of you!

We are working with the school and maintaining our schedule in accordance with theirs. For you, that means that everything is still on track as far as popcorn pick up April 8th at MHS (more details at a later date). Our next booster meeting is April 13th @ 7pm.

DISNEY DEPOSITS ARE STILL BEING ACCEPTED BUT WE HAVE REMOVED THE DEADLINE FOR NOW.

IF SCHOOL DOES NOT RESUME ON APRIL 6TH, we will adjust our calendar according to the new timeline put out by the district. Our only objective is to keep our students and their families safe right now!!

A note for our seniors…we have not forgotten how important this is year for you! We, the booster officers, parents and school staff want you all to know that we love you!! Hang in there!!

If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to call me at 330-418-2327!

With the current school shutdown we have come up with a plan to collect the popcorn orders and Disney deposits.

The High School office is open M-F, 9-1 this week. They will take the orders/deposits and put them in our box if you want to drop them off there.

For those whose schedule does not allow them to get to the school during those hours, we will have a booster officer in the parking lot Friday from 5-7 and Saturday from 12:30-2.

If none of these times work for you, you MUST call Nessa at 330-418-2327 ASAP to make arrangements to drop off your order with her. All orders must be turned in by Saturday!!

We are doing everything we can to make sure our kids get their orders in to help with the cost of the Disney trip and we ask that you be patient with us while we all work through this together.

We wanted to take a minute and thank all of you for supporting our band members with our latest fundraising effort for Disney!

With the corona virus making an appearance in Stark County and the district’s precautionary actions, we are working on a plan for turning in the popcorn fundraiser orders should the district shut down next week. We do not have any definite plans yet but are working diligently.

Please stay tuned to our Facebook, your email and Band Remind for further details.

Also, don’t forget that a $150 deposit is due April 6th for all students and chaperones planning to go with us to Disney. The deposit can NOT be paid with fundraiser monies and is required even if your child is using alternate transportation to and from Disney.

Please call or text Nessa at 330-418-2327 if you have any questions.
