Each student is asked to pay a $35 activity fee to help support the music department. Students are encouraged to earn this by participating in the Citrus Fruit Sale this fall. Selling approximately $70 worth of fruit yields a $35 profit.
As part of this fundraiser, we are happy to continue the holiday citrus donation program to Arlington Food Assistance Center (AFAC.) This drive enables AFAC to include citrus in their holiday baskets for needy families. Last year, thanks to HB Community support, we donated over $5000 in oranges to AFAC. You’ll find information about this worthy project in the Citrus Packets distributed at Back to School Night and during the week of September 22nd in your student’s music classes.
Once a student has sold his/her minimum, all other funds earned go directly to the individual student’s account and are credited to his/her spring music trip. If a family chooses not to participate in the fundraiser, a donation of $35 is requested in lieu of the minimum fruit requirement.
Note: We ask for the activity fee donation in the fall but students have a second chance to supplement their trip accounts in January during the cheesecake/cookie dough/frozen food sale.
