COFFEE FUNDRAISER

The Grant Band Program is partnering with Trailhead Coffee Roasters to bring our community great coffee and help us raise funds to support Grant Band operating costs. Money raised from our fundraisers is used for instrument purchases and maintenance, bus fees, fees for festivals and other learning opportunities, trips, advertising, and scholarships. 

Here is a link to the form if you need another one. Orders are due April 27th. Coffee will arrive around May 2nd.

BAND BOOSTERS WANT YOU!

Our next meeting will be on, Monday, May 14th at 6:30 PM at the home of Priscilla Klockner (2907 NE 55th). Everyone is welcome to attend!

The Grant Band Boosters are a friendly and fun group of parents who meet monthly, along with Mr. McFadden, to support the band program. We would love to have YOUR support. Your help improves the quality of the music experience for our sons and daughters at Grant. Please consider joining us for a meeting or two to see what it’s all about.

We have some board positions open for next year:

• President-Elect, As President-Elect, you would attend monthly meetings and prepare to assume the duties of booster president the following year. Contact MaryBeth Hernandez  to learn more.

• Secretary - Keeping minutes of the monthly meetings. Contact Elise Lind to learn more. 

• Sweet Sound of Jazz Planning Team. This team is a group of about 10 parents who work together to plan this fabulous fundraiser-event which typically takes place in February. Contact Kelly McCollum to learn more. 

• PTA Liaison This parent will attend monthly Grant PTA meetings as a Grant Band representative and report back to us what you learn. It's a pretty easy way to volunteer, but super helpful! Please contact MaryBeth Hernandez if you are interested. 

Please help us spread the word to families joining us next year! Pass this information along to any parents of eighth-grade band students on their way to Grant.
