Relay For Life

And We're Off....

We've started a team to help raise support to fight cancer through the American Cancer Society Relay for Life!

If you want to join the team go to this link: http://main.acsevents.org/site/TR?pg=entry&fr_id=24073 and follow the link to JOIN a TEAM. Then type in Fowler MS Band and join us!
You'll get to create your own page and email, post, and share from that page. Relay happens on May 7th and runs all night until 6:30am the next morning. The point of relay is to help fight cancer but we have a great time doing the events, playing games, and coming up with silly ways to raise support. As soon as I know the theme for Relay this year I will let you know so we can design our own Team Theme!
Start thinking of people that you'd like to share with about Relay for Life.

Meeting Notes 1-20

Council,
Here's notes from our meeting in case you missed or forgot already :)
Take note of things being "due" and double check about Relay for Life (www.friscorfl.com)
and about the Beginner Drives.

See me if you have questions!

Mrs. Amato

NOTES:

-Work on motivational/spirit posters to hang up- need them by the week of February 8th

-Sign up for beginner drive slots are 4-7 or 7-9:45 yes you can sign up for more than one time if you have parental permission

-Relay for Life- Will we or won’t we? The date for the event is May 7-8. Remember you don’t have to attend the event to participate in raising support, but you do have to commit to raising $100 to get your t-shirt (think if we all raised $100 that’s $1300!!!) Let me know your decision by February 5th. If you want to attend the event and stay the night I’m in- if you want other non-band council friends to be with you there must be a parent to stay. See me if you have questions.

Up Coming Events

Hey Gang!
It's been a while since we've been in communication and it's time to get crackin' on some new things!

First Things First- do well on your semester exams!

Next- We need you to be prepared to work at our Beginner Band Drives on the following dates:
February 1st & February 2nd after school from 4:00-8:30ish
I don't expect you to stay the whole time but would appreciate it if you could either work the first 2 hours (4-6pm) or the 2nd 2 hours (6pm-8:30) this way we will have enough people to help with meeting and greeting the incoming 6th graders and their parents.

Your jobs will mainly be:
Getting papers to and explaining the process of trying the instruments at the "Sign In" table or taking photos of the students with their prospective instruments after they have gone through the process.

Finally, we need to start thinking about motivating our bands as we gear up for contest season. Lets plan to make some motivational posters to inspire everyone to keep focused and aim for being the best we can be!

We will have a meeting Wednesday January 20th at 8am- please plan to attend, we will talk about Beginner Drives, making posters and whether we want to do Relay for Life this year.

Thanks!

Mrs. Amato
