2011-12 school year. A full calendar of events is included in the

Harvest Fest 2011
A Note of
Thanks!
Dear Music
Parents:
We would like to
take this opportunity to thank all of you for making last Friday’s
Harvest Fest a phenomenal success! It was a proud moment watching
Palos South come alive as we were treated to the musical gifts of
your children. Parents, grandparents, and honored guests, came
together in a festive atmosphere, with beautiful decorations and
outstanding food. The District 118 music directors, put on a
fabulous show for all of us. A special thank you goes out to Sue
Boyd for her hard work, creativity and leadership in co-chairing the
event. We had record numbers of parent volunteers, and we thank each
and every one of you for giving up a portion of your day(s) to help
the event run so smoothly. Also, we would like to thank all of the
families that made monetary donations to the Palos music programs.
The students will benefit from your generosity!!
In the near
future, we will send out communication with the exact amount of
money that was raised at the event, but here are a few of the
preliminary numbers:
·
Over 460
people were in attendance for the three dinner times.
After costs are taken out, this will leave the music programs with a
considerable donation.
·
94
colored mugs were sold at a profit of $470.
·
Almost $1900
was raised in monetary donations from families with more money
trickling in.
Parents and
families, thanks again for your support of our students, as they
continue to grow and develop their significant musical talents.
Regards,
Chris Bingen
