FUNDRAISE GENIUS – FUNDRAISING DRIVE
Students and parents, we need your help to reach our $30K Fundraise Genius goal. We have 24 students who have not registered and 10 students who have not entered any contacts. We have raised $13,287.43, which is 44.3% of our goal, but will struggle to even reach $20K without the support of all our band families. These funds pay for travel, uniforms, show writers, support staff, and more! The next e-blasts go out on Sept. 8th, 12th, and 15th, so there is still time!
Students, you can register here:
https://www.fundraisegenius.com/pn3352/register
If you have already registered and can enter a few more contacts, you can log in here:
https://www.fundraisegenius.com/pn3352/go
The prior link is the same link you can visit to view your progress and messages from your contacts.
Need a reminder of what makes a great contact? Watch the video below:

Parents, please share your student’s link on your social media platforms or text the link to friends and family that may not have been included in the e-blast. This goes a long way toward reaching goal.
Last year we raised just over $26K. We can reach $30K with everyone’s help! Thank you for your support of the band!

ABSENCE REPORT
If a student is missing a full band rehearsal or performance for an excused absence, parents/guardians should complete the Absence Report Form at this link. http://www.pnhsbands.com/absence-request-form/ If a student has to be gone during a sectional, guard and percussion should notify their instructors, and wind players should notify their section leaders. If there is a long term absence, please e-mail Mr. Hatcher with details. SUBMISSION OF THE FORM DOES NOT AUTOMATICALLY EXCUSE THE ABSENCE. Please look at the handbook for more details.
