The wrapping paper fundraiser will begin tomorrow and run through November 5. Order sheets must be turned in on that Friday, November 5. You will earn 45% of what you sell. Your profit may be applied to your uniform and/or your tour costs. If there is any money that you earn over what you need for your outfit, then that money will go into the general choral fund.
We will continue to sell the vinyl stickers. Please pick up an individual and customized order form if you want to participate in this fundraiser.
Work hard. These are the last fundraisers we will have this year to help you earn money for your uniform and/or tour costs.

Success Is . . .
A feeling of accomplishment when you know you have worked hard and have performed well.
Westlake Choir Students:
I am so proud of you!! Thank you for your hard work this past quarter. I hope you had fun tonight and started to get hooked on the joy that comes from performing well. I think that tonight's concert was an unqualified success. We had a great crowd, you sang well, and best of all--I could tell that most of you were really enjoying yourself as you communicated through our music. Of course there are things that we hope to improve on for our future performances. And we will keep getting better and better as you keep that discipline of working hard during rehearsals and constantly striving towards excellence.
Thanks again for tonight! Here's to holiday music tomorrow!
Much Love-
Miss Hatch

Fundraiser Concert --October 11
Our first concert is designed to help students pay for their uniform and/or tour costs. It is the only choral concert in the school year that has an admission fee which is $5.00/person. Each person attending the concert is required to have a ticket. Since the sole reason to charge admission to this concert is to help students raise money, a family pass is not offered. Concerts are excellent family night activities where families can watch and support their students performing, but are most suitable for children 5 years and older.
If a student has paid their uniform fee, then he/she is entitled to complimentary tickets. However, if a student's total uniform fee was $10 this year for the T-shirt only (because he/she is a returning student that has previously paid for their ensembles' uniform) then he/she will only receive 2 complimentary tickets. If the paid uniform fee is more than the $10 T-shirt fee, then that student may receive complimentary tickets for immediate family members only. Students must pick up these comp tickets by the end of the school day, October 11.
Tickets may be purchased the night of the concert and credited towards individual student accounts. Students, make sure when your family or friends buy their tickets, they tell the ticket sellers your name so you will get credit for that $5.00 ticket sale. If no specific name is given, then the money will go in the general choral account.
Encourage people to come to our concert. We've put in alot of work and we want our school and the community to recognize how well you're doing!! 5 more days to go!!!

New Fundraising Opportunities
Parents and students:
We have two more fundraisers that we will be doing to help students raise money for their uniforms and/or tour. The cookie dough fundraiser is almost finished. The cookie dough should be delivered and money collected and turned in at the Financial Office. Students are now selling tickets for our first concert on October 11.
One new fundraisers involves selling Westlake vinyl decals that can advertise and promote any program at Westlake. If parents would be willing to help sell at different sporting events, please email me.(mhatch@alpine.k12.ut.us) The last fundraiser that we will do this year will be selling wrapping paper and other like items. We will begin this fundraiser in a few weeks.

A Call for Parental Help
Parents:
Just as it takes a village to raise a child, it takes parent volunteers to help run a successful choral program. If you are willing to help, will you please email me at mhatch@alpine.k12.ut.us stating if you can help.
Right now I'm looking for at least 2 parents to help sell tickets at the concert on October 11. The ticket booth should open at 6:00 and go until about 7:20 or 7:30 to catch the late-comers. I also need about 4 adults to help usher and hand-out programs. The ushering is to help create an atmosphere that encourages respect for the performers and the other audience members. So ushers would need to be at the doors to make sure that people enter during applause and not while students are performing. Ushers would also ask disrespectful patrons to be quiet and if they fail to comply, ask them to leave or refer them to an administrator who is hopefully attending the performance.
I know we all all have busy lives, but I'm looking for parents who can be "Choir Moms" and "Choir Dads" and get a great parent organization started here at Westlake.
Thanks-
Maureen
