School fundraiser through Caldwell Fine Arts

To assist our school in funding important arts opportunities, Caldwell Fine Arts has introduced a no-stress fundraiser called the Family Music Night program. For every $25 family discount ticket sold to select Caldwell Fine Arts events, our school earns a $5 credit towards bringing great programs like Jim Cogan, Boston Brass, or Tears of Joy Puppet Theater to our school, or bringing your students to programs in Jewett Auditorium like the Nutcracker, or Juan Siddi Flamenco Dance Theater. No pre-sales, no money collection. How easy is that? See more details here. Find out about the Family Music Night Fundraiser on September 29, 2011 here.
