Volunteer information

If you volunteered on the nmschoir.org signup genius would you take a moment and double check that your sign up is still there. Right now we see the only 9 out of 69 eighth grade parents signed up for a volunteer position so far this year, only 20 out of 95 7th grade parents, and only 24 out of 117 6th grade parents are marked in for a spot too. That is very unusual. By now all SwingFry slots and Christmas slots are usually filled. If you don’t see your name please go back and add it again because something must have happened to our list. I apologize for the inconvenience!

Secondly, please remember that all volunteers who come in contact with our children need to complete a background check (found on this page under the parent forms tab). Our administration is checking to see if we have this done. If you haven’t filled one out would you please take care of that asap? 🙂 We’d sure appreciate it! This is for all chaperones, dress rehearsal chaperones, photographers, dinner crew, and tear down crew. It isn’t necessary for locker decorations, treats, or water donations.

I don’t know about you but we’re very excited to see the kids perform Saturday! Tell your friends, neighbors, and family so that we have a big turn out for the fundraiser o.k.? Thanks again for supporting us! Mrs. A and Mr. N

Good news

I’m sitting in the Middlebury Music Parent’s meeting tonight. They’ve been discussing all of the Swing Fry plans. First they said that we are at 60 percent for volunteer jobs. The kitchen is in need of your help. We are also “scary” short in the bake sale donations. Those signups are on the Northridgechoirs.com site. Please visit that site and lend a hand. In the meeting we realized that we have 0 Swingfry Concert Chaperones on our website. Yikes! It’s the easiest job of the year. You help kids put on ties and take attendance. After they sing you collect ties at the stage door. Please go to signup genius on the nmschoir.org site and help fill those slots. Pleeeeeze!

Now for the good news. Tonight they decided to have a $10 show only ticket. It should be posted soon on the tickets online tab. Northridgechoirs.com

You can purchase a show only ticket at the door too. You will receive a wrist band that will get you into every show. Kids 5 and under get in for free!

We need to remind everyone that this is a fundraiser.

Few reminders:

So many things have gone home with conflicting dates on them I am standing on my podium and yelling to the world “The dates for Swing Fry are THURSDAY, NOVEMBER 14 DRESS REHEARSAL AND SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 16! PLEASE USE THE YELLOW SHEET THAT WE SENT HOME LAST WEEK FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION. AMEN!!!

Yooooohooooo! Anyone home?

Hi! It’s Mrs. A, I just wanted to remind you to go to the NMS signup genius tab and volunteer for at least 2 things this year. I heard from a lot of parents last night that they had just not gotten around to signing up. So here’s your reminder! 🙂

Also you should go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0D4DAAAE2AA2F4C52-51205896-2024#/ to sign up for lending a hand for a few hours at SwingFry, Saturday, November 16th. We just got word that a lot of our time slots have not been filled. I know you. You’re giving people!! So make sure you sign up to help TODAY. (PLEASE). 🙂

You’re the best! Thank you! Mrs. A

News from our Middlebury Music Boosters Association regarding Swingfry. Must know!

October is here and this is our most critical time for fundraising. Please, make sure you are checking the northridgehighschoolchoir.com website for sign-ups and volunteering. Swingfry is our biggest fundraiser of the year!!! It is no small task to pull this off and we can not do it without everyone helping. Below are highlighted the most critical items right now.

1. SIGN-UP: Each family is required to sign-up for at least two shifts at Swingfry. Please go to the website and sign-up. Below is also a tentative performance schedule, so you can work around your student’s performance time. However, the schedule is still not set, know that we will work with you to make sure you can watch your student perform.

2. DONATIONS: We need parents who can help solicit food and auction donations from local businesses. Below is a list of items and instructions on how to get us those donations. Please follow these instructions so we don’t inundate local businesses with requests.

3. IF YOU ALREADY SIGNED-UP: Please double check your sign-up. We made last minute changes to the sheets and some sign-ups were lost. In particular, if you signed up to bake cakes please go check that your name is still there.

SwingFry, committee is set and already meeting. It is only a month away so sign-up now!! Below is the tentative performance schedule, this may adjust, but this will help you with when to volunteer. Sign-up is on the website.
