From the President ~ Welcome to Cario Bands 2017-2018!

Hope everyone had a great week—lots in information this week. Please read the entire announcement. There will be additional emails sent this evening as a follow up. Just so you know….I am not doing this to flood your inbox with useless emails (believe me, not what I want to do). However, with the volume of important information, I did not want to make this announcement into a 4 page email….but if you don’t read this email and start automatically replying to me, you will go on the NAUGHTY LIST!!!! And nobody wants that this time of year!!

Community Service

We will wrap up our Toys for Tots drive tomorrow evening—and we will have a special guest at the concert! Rob Fowler will be there and gather the toys! We want to completely overwhelm him with more toys so please continue to bring them tomorrow evening to the 7th grade concert.

Florida Trip

I know everyone heard how much excitement there is for this year’s 7th and 8th Grade Florida trip. There has been lots of interest about chaperoning the trip as well. We unfortunately are limited on the number of chaperones on the trip—an email will be sent this evening with additional information about chaperoning. Any questions should be directed to vice-president@cariobands.org

Fundraising

Did you know you can earn points for the Cario Band Boosters every time you shop at Harris Teeter? Harris Teeter’s Together in Education program gives schools a chance to earn funds when you link your VIC card and shop Harris Teeter Brands. Harris Teeter has donated over $25million to Together in Education schools since 1998! Another email will be sent this evening for sign up. Any questions should be directed to vice-president@cariobands.org

Holiday Ornaments

Some of you may be aware that we have a wonderful parent who is making ornaments for the Wando Band and we are looking at the same opportunity for the Cario Band! An email with additional information will be sent to you as soon as it becomes available...
