Good evening band family! First and foremost, CONGRATULATIONS on a great winter concert last night. Your performance was inspiring and I can’t wait to dig in next semester!
In the meantime, I wanted to share some shifts that are available for volunteers over the next week at the Gift Wrap Booth. From here on out, the booth will be very busy. It is my hope that we can offer support in this home stretch! Help from our parents and volunteers will be very very appreciated! New faces are encouraged! Available shifts: Tomorrow, dec 18th - Could you one more adult for the morning and afternoon shifts, and a couple more students. Sunday, Dec 19th - Currently could use one more adult for the morning shift, and two adults for the 1-4pm shift. There are currently no volunteers signed up then. Monday, Dec 20th need 1 or 2 more adults for ALL shifts Tuesday, Dec 21st One or two more adults for the evening shift 6-10pm, as well as two - three more students. Wednesday, Dec 22nd 1-2 more adults for the morning and afternoon shifts, as well as two students in the afternoon (2-6) Thursday, Dec 23rd 1-2 more adults for the morning and afternoon shifts Friday, Dec 24th All covered - However we will be breaking down the booth at 6pm after the mall closes. Please consider signing up, we need the additional support!! It’s an amazing opportunity for these students. This could greatly impact this spring, and the costs of future band fees, etc. My family and I appreciate all the help in this very important time in Jolenes life! We are in the home stretch! Let’s finish strong! And above all else, have an amazing winter break. Thanks for all you do.

Take a look at the list and sign up when you can! Thanks for all your help!! - Please let me know if you have any questions. Good morning band family! I hope you are all doing well. Every year I like to give out a few reminders about the Booth and how we all should approach working it. First of all, I really appreciate all the help! The fundraiser is going wonderfully and we are setting ourselves up for the BEST YEAR YET! But as we move forward to the truly busy weeks, I'd like to put a few gentle reminders.
1. Always remember that we are there to provide a service to the customers, and it is always important to treat them with the utmost respect and dignity. Smiling, asking them about their day, and being kind will go a long way! A lot of our customers are repeat customers because they enjoyed their experience so much. Especially don't make comments regarding how much they pay, tip, etc. That's always their choice. 2. Parents/volunteers should be dealing with money as much as possible. Students should be focused on wrapping, not collecting or counting money. 3. Students and parents must act professionally and remember they are representing the band and PSLHS. No yelling, profanity, or immature behavior. This is not usually an issue, but it's easy to get "bored" especially when its slow. This also relates to how students dress at the booth. Make yourself look friendly and presentable! Deodorant helps :) 4. When working the booth, it is okay to take breaks to get food, snacks, drinks, go to the bathroom. However, this is within reason. If you're working a 4 hour shift, there is no reason to have to get food multiple times. Once or twice is okay, but anything more can get excessive and be counter productive. When eating, do not eat inside the booth. Instead you can eat outside the booth at the entrance, or even find a seat close by (starbucks), eat, and return back. No students should be wondering the mall alone, AT ANY TIME. If you need to use the bathroom, take a buddy. 5. If you sign up, make sure you make it your mission to be on time and there the times you say you will be. Please don't show up without signing up. This is for students AND parents. It's important for us to keep records of who is there and who isn't. 6. Most importantly, have fun and remain positive! It's the holiday season, and a huge part of what makes this fundraiser successful is people giving off good vibes to eachother AND the customers! Like I said, we have a lot of repeat customers, and that's because they enjoyed their experience! Always remember the "be cool rule". Thanks again for everything you're doing! This fundraiser is the reason we don't have to do the many "small" fundraisers a lot of programs have to do. It's much more fun for everyone to provide a service, rather than trying to sell them something they may not want. Good morning band family! Happy Sunday! Thank you all for a STELLAR first week at the Gift Wrap Booth! We are setting records every day by huge margins! Thanks for taking pride in your fundraiser! Our winter concert is just a little less than 2 weeks away on December 16th! This week and next week will be all about making it as good as possible!
