Our first full week of school is coming to a close and our
first football game is here – how exciting! As we approach the second
full week of school, it seems as if life is now in full swing and there are
many priorities to stay focused on. Below are just a few things to be
thinking about:
FUNDRAISING
We will continue to sell calendars in two ways:
Group sales (these proceeds go to General
Fund): There are two opportunities to sell calendars as a group: we
will continue to sell the calendars at large venues and need “all hands on
deck” at each venue. For each venue below, please plan on being in the
cafeteria 30 minutes before the event begins so that we can set-up our table to
sell for the duration of the event. We need parents and dancers to help
at these events!
1. Monday, September 3rd Cougar Kick-Off 6:30pm at
CSHS
2. Saturday, September 15th, CSHS Public Open House
9am-1pm
Individual sales (these proceeds go to individual
dancer accounts): starting now, dancers can take calendars to sell
individually. Each individual dancer can now take calendars home to
sell. The first 15 calendars sold by each dancer will go toward paying
for the cost of printing the calendars. Everything sold over 15 will be
allocated to the dancer's individual account. If we can come together and sell
hard during the group sales efforts (listed above), the number that your dancer
has to sell to go towards printing costs will decrease!! We must sell 200
calendars to offset the printing cost. To date, in group sales, we have
sold approximately 45. When we reach that magic number (200), ALL the
proceeds from the calendar could go into your daughter's individual
account...$15 per calendar!!! Let's really work together and get to that
magic number!!!
PROGRAM SALES
This is a fundraising effort that helps to build the General
Fund. There are still some slots available to sign up to help with
football program sales -- only at four (4) home football games. Anna is
assigning the dancers to sell at a game and I’m sure that parents will want to
sell at the same game as their daughters. I hope to hear back from Anna
soon with the sign-up order for the girls. After I receive that, I
distribute the list via regular email and then ask everyone to go to the blog
to sign up on the list titled "Football Game Program Sales
Schedule". We need the schedule filled early next week so please be
watching your email carefully over the next few days. Thanks SO much for
your help on this!
DECORATE LOCKERS
The sign-up for locker decorations is not 100%
complete. We have the very first home game covered so we’ll complete the
remainder of the sign-up for this at the September Booster Club meeting.
Know, however, that we need 100% participation in this effort. This is
not intended to be arduous – instead, it’s intended to be pretty easy on the
booster club while building tremendous spirit and excitement among the
dancers. We’ll discuss at the meeting next week.
COUGAR KICK-OFF
On the Cougar Club website you'll find details about the
upcoming Cougar Kick-Off night. It begins at 6:30pm and dinner is
available to purchase. We will be selling calendars so we need "all
hands on deck" to help with this initiative.
SEPTEMBER BOOSTER CLUB MEETING
Our September Booster Club meeting is scheduled for next
Thursday, September 6th at 6pm in the CSHS conference room in the front
office. We have SO many things to discuss so please be sure to be there!
See you next week!
