Lincoln High School Band

We have had numerous requests to make a “Breadsmith” ISA fundraiser available to the band. 

Breadsmith of Sioux Falls opened in August, 1997. They employ a  dynamic, open bakery concept that makes for a fun and interesting  experience to visit their micro-bakery. The decor is open, fresh and clean.  Breadsmith has attempted to be responsive to the community’s  needs by donating all unsold bread at the day’s end to homeless shelters and food banks. They also work hand in hand with local charitable foundations and community groups on fund-raisers.

The Breadsmith Fundraiser offers a “10 for 10 Card”.  You receive a card with 10 punches.  For each punch you can purchase a loaf of bread and receive a second loaf of equal or lesser value free. (With some restrictions on specials).  There is no expiration date on the cards. Each card will cost you $10.  The $10 is split: $5 to Breadsmith, $4 to the student ISA account, and $1 dollar to the Bandparent Association to be used for general band expenses not covered by the school district.  The cards must be paid for when you pick them up.  You can pre-sell the cards, buy the cards and then sell them, or buy the cards and keep them for your own use.  Cards cannot be returned once you purchase them, so plan accordingly.

The cards will be available for pick-up on five consecutive Tuesday nights from 6:00 – 7:00pm, (same time as grocery cards).  The Tuesdays will start 9/22/09 and continue through 10/20/09.  Pickup will be at LHS near the band room, except on 10/13/09 (the night of the DVD recording), when they will be available at HWF, before and after the recording session.  Jennifer Petty has volunteered to coordinate the fundraiser and will be available at those times or by other arrangements with her.  Jennifer can be reached at 371-5876.

Start your selling and raise funds for your ISA account!

Chaperone Equipment Need:

Chaperones would like to thank all of those parents who have made generous donations to help our students prepare for a performance.  We are still in need of a couple of things if people are interested in donating them.  We need white electrical tape for the drum majors, a few small (not penlight) flashlights, small individual saline solutions for contact issues, and bottles or tubes of snap cap gel hand sanitizer.  Please contact Kathy Waters, 376-2906, or Kelly Tollefson, 351-6844, if you would like to donate either of these items.  Thank You.

QSP Magazine Fundraiser:

The QSP magazine fundraiser starts on Thursday, September 3. Students can earn around 35% of their sales for their ISA accounts.

A QSP representative will explain the program and hand out forms to students during band classes. Forms will be available in the band room on the north filing cabinets for those students who do not have a band period.

ORDER FORMS AND MONEY ARE DUE WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 16. Put them in the QSP box on the north filing cabinets in the band room. Make sure your name is on the envelope/forms and that the money adds up correctly. Checks should be made payable to LHS Band.

Friends and relatives can also order magazines, books and CDs online. Just go to QSP.com, click on the Shop tab and enter the Lincoln band code: 425000326. At the checkout, be sure to enter the student participant’s first and last name so that they will receive credit. Magazine subscriptions may also be renewed.

Questions? Call Laurie Dale, fundraising chair, at 336-9250.

Hy-Vee & Sunshine Grocery Cards:

Remember that Hy-Vee and Sunshine Grocery cards are available at LHS each Tuesday evening from 6-7 pm.  For every $100 of cards purchased, $4 is credited to your student’s ISA account, and the Bandparent Association receives $1.  The purchase of these cards can really go a long way to fulfilling your student’s band participation fee.
