Stevie B's Coupons

Fundraiser

 

WOW another great way to pay for those Band fees.  All for You.

 

The Stevie B coupons are for the $8.23 dinner buffet,
including a drink.
 
We are selling them for $5.00. 
$4.00 of the $5.00 goes directly to the students Band fee account.  The other $1.00 goes toward the new uniform cost.  Everyone wins. 

 

You can either purchase the coupons to use or to sell, or use our presale program whereby you can presell the coupons to your family, friends, neighbors, take the form to work, or other events and sell them, collect the money and bring the money to us and exchange it for the coupons to redistribute to those that bought them.  Simple, easy, and you earn $4.00 directly toward your Band fees.

 

If you are going out for pizza, you might as well do it for "FREE". (The $5.00 cost come directly back to the Band.)

keep cobb beautiful Sprayberry Band is Now the Proud Parent of
A Mile of Cobb County road!
Sandy Plains from West Oak Parkway to Kincaid Rd

Our next adopt-a-mile cleanup will be June 25th at 1PM.  We will need a few adult volunteers as well as students.  If you are interested in helping, please email treasurer@sprayberryband.com & include your name, email, phone #, t-shirt size.  A signup sheet will be on the band bulletin board the last week of school.  And don't forget to check out our signs that were placed at West Oak Parkway & Kincaid Road along Sandy Plains Road.

 This activity can be used for community service hours for other clubs and school so be sure to get that special honor at graduation for meeting the minimum service hours requirement.

This is our chance to give back to the community that supports our school and band every day of the year.  Wouldn't it be great if we were the Band that Cares as well as the Band of Gold?
