MUSIC BOOSTERS HOLIDAY GREENERY FUNDRAISER |
Our BHS Music Boosters Holiday Greenery Fundraiser is back, and we're helping our Band/Choir/Orchestra students raise funds for their combined trip to Disneyland in March 2023--their first trip since 2019! Once again, we are partnering with Sherwood Forest Farms in Lacey and will be offering a fresh, fragrant 28" evergreen wreath and a lovely evergreen table centerpiece for local delivery. Additionally, we will offer an extended range of items for direct delivery anywhere within the contiguous 48 states. Please check out our sales webpage at www.sherwoodfundraiser.com/BHSMusicBoosters2022.
Sales begin on Monday, October 17. The last day to order is Monday, October 31. Our BHS Music students will pick up local orders at BHS on Friday, November 18 and make local deliveries then. Our direct delivery option makes it easy for you to order greenery and/or gifts for out-of-town relatives and have items delivered directly to them OR for Grandma in Florida to go to our webpage and order a wreath for herself. Share our sales webpage link with family and friends!
Thank you for supporting our BHS Music students. All funds raised will assist our Band/Choir/Orchestra students in defraying their Disneyland trip costs. Go, Bellevue!
