We help support Mr. Chatham and Mr. Beaudry with all concerts, band uniform maintenance, music events & festivals, town parades and group trips! We also offer 2 scholarships to our graduating seniors . The best part about our Yankee Candle fundraisers is that every student in the music department that fundraises has their own "account" that is maintained by the Friends of Music. We get 40% profit from Yankee Candle and 2/3 of that goes into the student account that can be used towards future trips to reduce the overall cost. Funds from the accounts will be automatically applied to the final payment balance and /or parents will get a refund check. All other fundraisers from HFOM (concert raffles, car decals, "H" ornament, java joe coffee ) goes into the HFOM general fund to help reduce the cost of music trips, equipment and supplies for the music department.
