TAG Day, Saturday, September 18th: Volunteers Needed

 

Welcome to all new families, and welcome back to all returning families 
to the Justice High School Orchestra Department!


TAG Day is this Saturday, September 18, 2021  8:00am to 12:30pm. 

This is *THEE* big fundraiser for the Orchestra Department. We need all the help that we can get from our orchestra families, both parents and students are urged to participateRemember, the amount of money that each group receives is proportionate to the number of hours put in. When successful, this fundraiser supports most of the annual expenses for Justice High School music programs.

Please volunteer at this SignUpGenius page.

 Here’s the link again: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10c0949a9ac29a02-jhsmusic

On Tag Day, students and parents from band, chorus and orchestra ask the local community directly for support by going to every home within the Justice High School boundaries. Due to COVID safety precautions, students will not be knocking on doors to collect money.  Instead, students will simply “tag” each house, leaving a return envelope and flyer that asks for a donation.  

Subsequently, we will follow up with neighbors and past donors by mail and email, encouraging their financial support – the ‘virtual’ component of our Tag Day event.

Tag Day requires all hands on deck. We need every family to participate in order for it to be a success. There are two options to participate:

  • Driver/Tagger pair:  (9:00am-12:30pm).  We need over 60 drivers over the age of 18. Each parent/guardian (the driver) will drive their student (the tagger) on an assigned route. Please note: two students may arrange to ride together in 1 car if it is acceptable to all parents involved. Arrange this in advance and note this on the SignUpGenius page.
  • Stuffer—(8:00am-10:00am) Students without drivers or parents without cars participate by stuffing envelopes for the driver/tagger teams to deliver/tag and our virtual mailing.

We use FCPS facilities, following all COVID protocols: Always wear masks indoors, in vehicles with non-family members, and in neighborhoods as appropriate.

Please make plans to participate in this very important fundraising event on Saturday, September 18. Please sign up at the SignUpGenius page.
