Instructions:

• From there people can select and order their candles.
  
• There will also be a place to select the Strutter when placing their orders.
• Link to order: https://velalita.com/
• The milage range is 30 miles from Burleson so customers don't get charged shipping.
• If a customer is trying to order and say they work with the Strutter parent/guardian and out of the 30 mile range the strutter can let them know that if they put Burleson High Schools addresses for delivery the Strutter parent/guardian can take it to work and deliver.
• All other customers ordering out of 30 mile range like family out of town will have to pay for shipping.
  

Our program will get 50% of sales from the big candles, and 40% from the little candles/ car diffusers. 20% of this fundraiser will go towards New York

Strutters:

For every candle you sell your name will be placed into a drawing for:

• Two names will be drawn for: Breakfast provided by the Directors
  
• Two names will be drawn for: Missing 1 practice of your choosing
  
• Two names will be drawn for the fan favorite: Throw a pie in the Directors face
  

Form must be filled out by Wednesday, November 13th: https://fs27.formsite.com/jjsoutnabout/ht1w1qn1y9/index

This year the Strutters are adopting a kiddo in need and purchasing them a new winter coat and a new toy/item off their wish list. There is a $50 spending limit total (includes coat & toy) to ensure that each kiddo gets equally treated.

• Use the inspiration photos below to help you find a dress
  
• Make sure this is something you can move in comfortably

***If you need assistance with purchasing please communicate ASAP with Mrs. Moore and we will make sure you have what is needed.***

Hand wash in a kitchen sink or a bathtub with Woolite and cool water, rinse well

Do not ring to dry! To remove excess moisture, roll in a towel

Hang to dry (use plastic hangers, DO NOT use wire hangers)

The list of DO NOTS:

• Take to the dry-cleaners
  
• Use heat of any kind
  
• Use steam
  
• Machine wash
  
• Put in dryer

All of the above listed things can and probably will ruin the sequins.

I cannot replace ruined uniforms due to improper washing until the end of the year and you will be held responsible for this cost.

We highly recommend washing it over the weekend so it has time to drive.

Devo points are awarded for participation and service to other organizations and the community of Burleson. If a Strutter earns ten devo points, they will letter. If they accrue an additional ten Devo points, then they will be awarded with a most devoted patch at the end of the year. If you earn twenty devo points, you will letter and get the most devoted patch. In order to remain eligible for your letter jacket you must be in good standing with the organization.

We pay for the base cost of the letter jacket. Anything additional will be covered by the Strutter

Vets: If you earn ten devo points you will get your star patch for that year. An additional ten devo points will get you the most devoted patch.

Points will be awarded for the following:

• Attendance to any BHS/ HMS sporting event or performance while wearing something that says Strutters (1 per event)
  
• Community Service hours (1 per hour)
  
• Any effort or activity as determined by the Directors
  

Devo Points will officially end after the fourth six weeks.
