FUNDRAISING

It is a principal goal to provide all students the opportunity to raise all necessary funds for any trip through school-sponsored fund raising activities. Any student who fails to raise sufficient funds through such projects will have to make up the difference out of his/her own money in order to participate in the trip.

1) The Band & Color Guard Parents Organization coordinates fund-raising projects with the Band Director and the Student Activities Director.

2) Each student will receive information on every fundraising project, including a timeline for completion, and deadlines for turning in orders and money.

3) Students must meet all deadlines for turning in orders and money to be assured a part and profit in the project

4) All profits earned by an individual student in a fund-raising project will be deposited with the Parents Organization, and tracked by Student Accounts . These funds will accumulate through the year, and may only be used for BPO sponsored trips.

5) Whenever a trip is planned, students and parents will receive detailed information which will include COSTS, and DEADLINES for PERIODIC DEPOSITS to accounts. Many of the expenses of travel must be paid well in advance of a trip, making prepayment necessary. While deposit deadlines will be coordinated with fund-raising projects, students who do not raise sufficient funds during a given project may need to use his/her own money to meet deposit deadlines.

6) Funds will carry over from year to year; No transfer of funds between students will be allowed, except within the same family; Unused funds remaining in accounts of graduating Seniors or students moving out of the district will be moved into the General Account of the Parents Organization. (See 6-A for exception.)

6-A) If a student is unable to attend a trip he/she had been saving for, PERSONAL money that was deposited in the individual account (i.e. funds other than those raised through school-sponsored projects) will be refunded less any "non-refundable" amounts arising from non-refundable costs (such as: airline tickets already purchased; student's share of bus costs; any other non-refundable expense incurred before the student withdrew from participation in the trip). No money earned in a school-sponsored project can be refunded- only saved in the account as described in 6, above.
