OAK HILLS UNIFORM CAMPAIGN DRIVE
The average lifespan of a band uniform is 10 years. Today the Oak Hills Band is wearing uniforms twice that age. Through good stewardship and help from
Band Association volunteers, the current uniforms have lasted 20 years. It is time for the band to get new uniforms.
There is no money in the school district's budget for uniforms. The Oak Hills Band Association has established an uniform fund. The goal of the fund is to
reach $130,000 by January 2013. The current balance of the fund is over $92,000. The fund will be used to purchase 200 uniforms.
There are several ways to support the uniform fund. Make a cash donation, donate online, or volunteer to work on the campaign. The OH Band
Association is a 501c(3) organization; donations are tax deductible. Click here for more information on how you can help.

Sparky’s Glow Carnival was a shining success! The Carnival Committtee would like to thank
everyone that helped to make it happen. We are so lucky to live in such a generous community that
values the importance of our children, their school, and their education. Listed below are the
individuals, families, and businesses that donated items, services and money to the Carnival. We
also wish to thank the many anonymous donors and anyone that we may have unintentionally
omitted from our list. We cannot forget the many families that donated to create the awesome
baskets, silent auction and treasure chest prizes. We really appreciate countless hours spent baking
(or shopping for) those delicious baked goods, and all the workers that went above and beyond to
make this a BLAST for the kids!!! THANKS AGAIN!!!! See you in 2015!!!
