We would love your feedback! In an effort to help us continually elevate your child’s educational experience, we encourage you to take our annual Family-School Relationships Survey!

We apologize, but the Applebee’s Pancake Fundraiser has been canceled due to low ticket sales. We’re sorry for any inconvenience this may cause and truly appreciate your support.

If you purchased tickets, please let us know if you would prefer a refund or if you would like the funds applied toward your student’s fees.

Thank you again for your understanding and support.

*New Fundraiser Opportunity!!*
As you may know, the Winter Percussion/Winter Guard is selling tickets to an Applebee's Pancake Breakfast as a fundraiser for their programs. We need to sell 100 tickets in order to maximize our fundraising, and we have only sold 21 tickets so far. Therefore, we have decided to open it up to the rest of the band to sell tickets too!

The breakfast is Sunday, February 15th, from 8-10 am, at Applebee's on 120th & Grant. Tickets are $12 each, and, if we hit 100 tickets sold, students will get $6 per ticket into their band account! (Profits will be lower if less than 100 are sold.) The link for ticket sales is here: https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/ticketing/applebees-pancake-breakfast-4

As always, please let me know if you have any questions!

IMPORTANT

We still have $20,000 of band fees that need to be collected. It is extremely important for you to pay your band/winter guard/winter percussion fees ASAP. We need to have all fees paid in full by April 1st so we can do our budget for next year. Unfortunately, if we are short from band fees not being paid, it will impact our budget for next year. If you are struggling to pay your fees, please reach out so we can set up a payment plan, otherwise, please go to the fees section to pay.

Please remember to pay your students band fees and winter percussion/winter guard fees. 

  • You can check balances on the band website (password has been emailed to all band emails)
  • We are transitioning to Zeffy and CutTime, platforms designed for 501(c)(3) organizations

Pay band fees via Zeffy:
https://www.zeffy.com/en-US/donation-form/horizon-high-school-band-fees

When prompted, you may choose Other → contribution → $0 to avoid donating to Zeffy. Please include your student’s first and last name so payments are credited correctly.

CutTime will also be sending out statements for remaining balances. Questions may be directed to our treasurer: hhsbpatreasurer@gmail.com

Please let us know if you have any questions,

We are doing an amazing job with our Krispy Kreme fundraiser! As of tonight, we have sold 245 dozens, with 31 students having sold at least one dozen so far. So, we've moved the goalpost again–with just 6 days left in the fundraiser, can we reach 300 dozens?

Share out to your community again, check with your neighbors, have mom & dad ask at work. It's not to late to join if you haven't already; if you need the link to join the fundraiser, OR if you need your individualized link sent to you again, please reach out.
