Each orchestra parent will be assigned into a group, which will create a themed basket for October 9th Fall Concert. Baskets will be auctioned from $20 to $200, so come with your great ideas! BUSINESSES may sponsor a basket. The Hebron Orchestra boosters are a non-profit organization and donations may be tax deductible.

Parents,  the Hebron Orchestra boosters need your help. The following  officer positions and committees are open for the 2014-2015 school year. hhsorchboostercommittees2014

VOLUNTEERS, SIGN  UP HERE!

I know how busy we all are, but I have also seen the benefits of an active, high-quality orchestra program. We are able to provide student uniforms, trips, activities and perks because of parent volunteers. To get involved, attend the booster officer elections and sign up for committees at our April 22 Booster meeting, at 7:30pm. Note: Officer positions are for one school year, elected in April.

Thanks for your help! -Mrs. Oyedipe
