Funds from Measure E will support: a) Reduced class sizes for K-6, English and math; b) Availability of classes in core subjects such as science and history; c) Availability of multiple foreign language programs; d) Availability of elective course offerings such as art and Career Technical Education; e) Retaining counseling staffing; f) Continued targeted achievement support in Reading and Math; and g) Continued availability of school site safety and support staff. Information about Measure E can be found at http://www.yesforourstudents.org/ and http://www.djusd.net/district/parctaxdocs/measepartx There are also links to information about volunteer opportunities.

Scholarship prizes ($1000 check) are awarded to essay finalist students, and the school gets a contribution of musical equipment from music merchants. Last year, a 7th grade Harper orchestra student was one of the finalists, and the essay was really quite good. You can read it here: http://www.sbomagazine.com/163333/essay/2012-essay-contest-winners/ I would think that any music student would probably have some background to address the prompt. Note that there are two categories -- grades 9-12 and grades 4-8. Please consider announcing to your students. Best, Hiram -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...

Please spread the word! Last year's AllStars exceeded all expectations, and had a terrific experience; rehearsing and performing the music of the SFJAZZ Collective, having a workshop with Robin Eubanks early in the year, attending several concerts in the Mondavi Center jazz season, and capping it all off with a performance in Jackson Hall with members of the SFJAZZ Collective last spring. This is an extraordinary opportunity for talented and dedicated high school age musicians in the valley region. Get the word out to all high school age musicians, and their teachers. Submission deadline in 2 weeks on September 24th!

Please reply to her directly at jndkmllr at pacbell.net. Hi Parents! Today (Friday) kicks off the Jazz and Beat Festival / Band Booster Raffle. Please look for the Raffle tickets coming home with your students. This is the message that we have given the students along with the tickets: Jazz and Beat Festival and the DHS Bands Let the Raffle Begin! Parents: We need your help and your student's help to keep our band program strong. Students are being given raffle tickets to sell, and we would appreciate your support in this effort. Participation is completely voluntary. Students: 1. To help make it fun, whoever sells the most tickets wins a prize. The top seller will have bragging rights, and will also get a $50 gift certificate from BestBuy, for selling the most tickets. 2. Here are 10 raffle tickets to sell, if you want to. When selling tickets, keep the stub with the person's name and the donation to put in this envelope. You can also put unsold tickets in this envelope and return all of it to the band room. If you want to sell more tickets and go for the prize, you can get more tickets on Friday mornings at the band room or by contacting Katherine Miller, at 530-219-3422 or by email at jndkmllr at pacbell.net. 3. Participation is completely voluntary. If you prefer not to sell tickets, no worries, just return this envelope with the tickets to the band room. More info: The Raffle Drawing will happen during the Jazz Band Performance at the Jazz and Beat Festival, on 10-20-2012. The Grand Prize is the highly popular new computer tablet, the Google Nexus. Some other lucky people will win two tickets to the Mondavi, a BestBuy gift certificate or a Yolo Berry gift certificate. The prize winners do not have to be present to win, and all ticket holders will be winners, since Lamppost Pizza has included a $10 coupon on every raffle ticket. So have fun and good luck selling tickets. See you at the Jazz and Beat Festival! THANK YOU, LAMPPOST PIZZA and THE MONDAVI PERFORMING ARTS CENTER We hope to have students sell raffle tickets in their neighborhood, during the home Football Game on 10/19 and downtown during the Jazz and Beat Festival. Again, participation is voluntary. Please call me with any questions. We hope that you and your student will enjoy this fund raiser. Remember-every raffle ticket has a $10 coupon from Lamppost Pizza!

The Gamestop at the West Covell Marketplace donated to the Raffle, by discounting the very cool and hard to get Google Nexus, our Grand Prize. THANK YOU, GAMESTOP! Here's an update on the DHS Band Booster's Booth and Raffle at the Jazz And Beat Festival on 10/20/2012: Hopefully you have heard from your students about the raffle and selling raffle tickets. Please email me with any questions you might have: jndkmllr at pacbell.net If your student is getting into selling tickets, someone will be at the band room on Friday mornings to pass out more tickets. If more tickets are needed earlier, just give me a call or an email and we'll make it happen. Remember, we are selling tickets at the football game on 10/19 and at the Festival, too, which will be another ways to rack up sales for those students going for the Best Raffle Ticket Salesperson title (and prize). I wanted to add that this activity is completely voluntary, so no worries for those who prefer not to get involved in this fund raiser. The Sign-up Genius is set up and ready to go for other ways to help out with our booth during the Festival. This is a fun activity, a great way to meet other band families and a wonderful way to be part of a special day in Davis. Please click on this link to check it out: www.SignUpGenius.com/go/10C054DA5A8283-dhsband Hope to see you there.
