ICMS Music Department Fundraiser Kickoff!

We are announcing our kick-off for the ICMS Music Department fundraiser!  Last year was a brilliant success and the revenue raised helped us purchase our quality performance Clavinova that has greatly improved our program.  As we kick off this year, just a few pointers:

• Money is collected when products come in, do not collect money up front
• Please sell to those you know are reliable for purchasing the products
• Products may NOT be returned once ordered.  Students are responsible for collecting the revenue for each product they submit to order
• Keep your eye on the prize!  Set a goal for yourself and, GO!  Any help is still help!
• Order forms are due 8 - 20/21; products in 9 – 10/11; money due 9 – 17/18

Please feel free to contact Mr. Dobell or Mr. Wingett for questions or concerns!  Also, be sure to check out our blog at icmsmusic.blogspot.com for any updates or information.  Thank you so much for your help and remember, every little bit counts to improving our program!
