Reminder for this week
Post Date: December 12th, 2011We have several things going on this week.
Volunteer Thank You — On Wednesday, Dec. 14, Sandi AhSue will graciously host a party for all the parents and family members who volunteered during the marching season. The event starts at 6:30 p.m. and the address is 5761 Argyle Way. Spouses are invited as well. Please bring a dish or deserts to share. Beverages will be provided. (No alcohol please.)
Winter Concert — The winter concert will take place at 7 p.m. on Dec. 15 at the Littleworth Theater. Cost to attend is $5 per person. We will also have our silent auction, so come prepared to make some bids and get some great deals.
Mr. Mooring wanted us to pass along to important information as well.
First, recently, there has been increase in the number of low brass instruments being stolen in the Southern California area. Although Poly High School students have not been targeted, it is important to remind your child to take his or her instrument home on the weekends and during the holidays.
Second, there is a new organization geared toward parents who want to support music programs. The mission of the National Association of Music Parents (AMP), a non-profit organization, is to build a grassroots national movement that will engage and empower parents to take ownership of their children’s complete education, including the arts. The group’s first leadership conference will take place in Anaheim in January. It is reasonably priced is a chance to attend sessions on funding, motivation and advocacy, as well as the opportunity to network with other booster clubs from throughout the country.
More information is available at www.amparents.org.

Celebrate the Championship Win with Applebees and Santa
Post Date: December 5th, 2011Poly Band families:
As many of you know, our kids brought home the bronze medal this weekend, finishing 3rd out of 10 bands in our division.
That’s a great accomplishment, and we will celebrate this Saturday at the flapjacks breakfast fundraiser at Applebee’s restaurant at University Avenue and Vine Street in downtown Riverside.
The event is 8-10 a.m. and tickets are $10 per person.
Santa will be there and kids of all ages will be able to take a photo with Santa — perfect for Christmas cards!
A 5X7 photo print is $3; photos that are e-mailed but not printed are only $2.
Your student was given an envelope with his/her name on it on Thursday night, and a small flyer with details about the flapjacks event. Just put the appropriate amount of money ($10 per ticket) in the envelope and have your student return the envelope on Thursday or Friday during 6th period.
Somebody from the booster club will be there to pick up the money. Then just pick up your tickets at the table in front of the restaurant Saturday morning. Of course, walk-up tickets also will be available for sale at the event.
See you Saturday!
