We actively work to raise funds to support the Westmount Charter Mid-High music program. Our goal is to enrich the educational experience of all Westmount’s young musicians and to support our hard-working band teachers.
We organize many fundraising activities through the school year. For example, we’ve partnered with Davison Orchards to sell apples in the fall, and we’ve held bake sales during band concerts. We’ve also organized 50/50 raffles and silent auctions. We’re always open to new fundraising opportunities — let us know if you have an idea!
The funds we raise support the band program in a variety of ways, including buying new instruments, repairing instruments and paying to bring in guest clinicians to work with small groups of students. We also subsidize day trips for all students and overnight trips for grades 7–12, including provincial and national competitions.
We’re always looking for new people to be part of the board. We currently have several open positions and the need for several members-at-large — if you’d like to know more email wmpsfundraise@gmail.com. Plus our AGM and monthly meetings are open to all music parents. We’d love to see you there!
