OCTOBER events...
- September 25-October 9: Simply Sheets fundraiser. We are selling sheet sets as a SMS Band fundraiser. All profits will go to the SMS Band Fund that will be used to enhance the musical experience in the classroom. The band fund is utilized after our district alloted budget money has been depleted. Purchases can be, but are not limited to the following: uniform replacement, music, method books, solo and ensemble music, technology upgrades, and other items such as incentive prizes and concert reward parties. While I feel it is imperative to provide the best educational experience for all students, it's also important to recognize their talent, dedication, and hard work by rewarding them with incentive programs and celebrations after their performances. All fundraisers are optional. Thank you for all of your support!
