FUNDRAISING
The BPA runs fundraisers from time to time throughout the year. Their purpose is twofold. The BPA uses money it collects to support the marching band program, be it providing equipment needed in home and away football games and band competitions, to providing food, water, and treats at events and band camp to assisting with the band trip activity. The Annual Banquet is funded this way, and it's totally dependant on your fundraising activities. Fundraising also helps student increase their student trip account balance. Some fundraisers go directly to each student's account. Some are run on a 70/30 split, where 70% of the fundraising profits are credited to the students account and 30% is credited to the BPA account.
Most fundraisers are sent home with a due date for return, and are posted here and on the Calendar page.
Please note there is a $25 fee for any returned check.
If you want to know what your student account balance is, send a message to fhsbpa@gmail.com
