Hey Band Parents!

The band officers threw a fantastic party for the 250+ kids that attended on Friday afternoon! They had so much fun drinking hot chocolate (homemade by amazing band parents!) and eating snacks and cake and pizza and watching Polar Express.

The band officers' initial plan for the party did not include the pizza, however, once the kids arrived we realized that because it was an early release day, most of the kids had not had lunch and they needed more to eat than just snacks and desserts! So the parent volunteers that were working the party went ahead and ordered 40 pizzas to feed the 250 band kids that were there! 🍕🍕🍕

We are sharing this info with you because there was no budget for pizza, and the parents that picked up the pizza footed the bill for all of the pizza.

We were hoping some of y'all might be willing to pitch in towards the cost of the pizza, we would really appreciate it! Even $5, $10, $20 would help!

Here is Venmo/PayPal/Zelle info if you'd like to pitch in:

Nikki Wilson, @purelifelegacy, 469-939-2231.

Please just put pizza in the memo line!

Thank You!

• Region Band Clinics and Concerts are coming up. We still need volunteers to chaperone on January 12 & 13. Please see the signup for all the details.

• We’ve started working on the Band Golf Tournament fundraiser that will be taking place at the end of May. We have a new golf tournament lead and a whole new team running it this year, and it’s going to be fabulous, but there are a lot of details that go into hosting a tournament and we could really use some more help. In particular, we could us more help with the sponsor/donor/silent auction parts of the tournament. This has the potential to raise a lot of money for the band, so please come help us make it a huge success! If you’d be interested in helping, please e-mail Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org or Sarah Durrant at fundraising@hebronband.org.

If you have any questions reach out to Nikki Wilson at volunteers@hebronband.org

We had a very successful Fall Fundraising Season. We are 80% of the way to our yearly fundraising goal, but it will take the success of all our Spring Fundraisers to get us to our goal!!

Did you know that 1/3 of the Hebron Band Budget comes from fundraising? Why do we do so much fundraising? We want to keep our band program accessible to all families. Without fundraising, our band fees would have to increase by over $1000!!!

• PARENT ZOOM MEETING ON Jan. 9th The Hebron HS Band Mattress Fundraiser is coming soon. We will have a mandatory Parent Zoom Meeting on Tuesday, Jan. 9th, at 7 pm (25 mins) so you can learn more about the Fundraiser and how we can best help the band maximize on profits.

• WE NEED YOUR HELP WITH EMAIL CONTACTS FOR THE MATTRESS FUNDRAISER!! A representative met with the students in class on Dec. 14th to discuss the mattress fundraiser. This campaign runs similar to Squadfunds where we request each student to provide 10 emails for friends and family so we can let them know about the sale. Please use the attached form or this link (https://hebron-hs-band-2024.fundsnow.org/signup) to enter email addresses. PLEASE CHECK IN WITH YOUR STUDENT TO MAKE SURE THEY HAVE CREATED AN ACCOUNT WITH THE MATTRESS FUNDRAISER AND THAT THEY HAVE ENTERED AT LEAST 10 EMAIL ADDRESSES. Currently we only have approximately 1000 emails entered, but our goal is 1820 emails! We have the potential to earn $70,000 with this fundraiser, but we need your help to get the word out!!!

The LEF (Lewisville ISD Education Foundation) scholarship application is open. HBBC will award 3 Senior scholarships in the spring.

• Deadline is Jan. 5, 2024
• Seniors must be in good financial standing to be considered.
• A student is in good financial standing if he/she has no past due fees in Presto or is on schedule with their own payment plan established with Student Accounts.
• LEF is a one-stop application center for LISD. A Senior can apply for multiple scholarships (PTA, Band, another booster club in which he/she is involved).

In addition, LEF is looking for volunteers to read scholarship applications (you would read apps from the west side of LISD). Information to volunteer is also on their website.

Let me know if you have any questions.

Thanks,
