General Announcements:

2010 Goddard Instrumental Music
Spring Plant Fundraiser kicks off
TODAY!

The annual Band & Orchestra Spring Plants Fundraiser for students in grades 7th through 12th begins Monday, February 15th and ends Friday, March 5th. Pickup and Delivery will be Saturday, May 1st, at the High School, on Mane Street. Students will be selling locally grown annual and perennial flowers, geraniums, vegetables, and flower baskets, along with fresh herbs and sun and shade flower urns.

This has been an excellent fundraiser in the past and is a great way to build your students’ account. Remember, 50% of your student’s total sales (after taxes are taken out) will go directly into his/her Instrumental Music Student Account. Taxes are included in the price for each plant.
We have many new plants on the Order Form this year. Plant descriptions are on the back of the Order Form and pictures are available on our fundraising site.

Directors have sales information and forms, if you are interested in selling spring plants.
