Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!

It's time for our December dine-out (kind-of) fundraiser! This month we are giving the kids a much needed break from finals with Krak Boba! Take a short breather, have some stress relief, and give your brain a recharge with a refreshing boba tea, made just the way you like. Come out today and tonight, Thursday, December 16th, between 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Krak is located in Heritage Park Plaza, nearby Ralph's, at 25432 Trabuco Road (please see map below).

Your participation will support the ETHS Instrumental Music and Pageantry Boosters, as 20% of all sales to our supporters will be donated the program. Just be sure to mention the fundraiser, or present the flyer below.

We will be hosting the RBR End-of-Season Holiday Awards Banquet this coming Monday, December 6th, at 6:30 PM. The banquet will be held at Buffalo Wild Wings in Lake Forest. See the map below for the location.

After everyone gets a chance to enjoy their dinner, Mr. Miller will be presenting RBR Awards to the students.

The event will also help raise funds for the IMPB, as 15% of your bill will be donated by Buffalo Wild Wings back to the program.

Families are welcomed and encouraged. It will be a fantastic way to celebrate an amazing season. Hope to see you all there!

This and next weekend, students from the music program will be visiting neighborhoods in El Toro High School's district in Lake Forest to conduct our Hang Tag Fundraiser. We will be hanging the tags above on front doors to ask for donations to the music program.

We need parents to volunteer to supervise the kids. Sign-ups for chaperone duties are here. Sign-ups are still needed for the weekend of December 11th and 12th, so please volunteer if you are able.

If you are in a neighborhood that has not been covered yet, please reach out to one of the Boosters, if not our President directly, to volunteer. There are a good number of neighborhoods that we have yet to reach, so please help out if you can.

The December newsletter is out, hot off the presses, produced by our hard-working President, Parliamentarian, and Booster Board members! In it is information about current sales, the Hang Tag Fundraiser, the December RBR schedule, the Dine-Out Night at Panda's, upcoming fundraisers, donations, Project Inspire, and the Music Angels sponsorship program. Please click below to view it.

We are holding our annual Mickman's Gift-It-Forward Online Holiday Sales Fundraiser! Order your wreaths, centerpieces, and other decorative holiday items online from Mickman's, and they will donate $8 to the El Toro High School Music Program for each item ordered. Items ordered will ship directly to your door via FedEx.

This is a great fundraiser for us, as placing an order is super-easy. Also, anyone can order online (using the fundraiser code ELTOROCA004): friends, neighbors, colleagues, and relatives, from anywhere in the United States. You can also have items shipped to recipients of your choosing as a gift, with a unique gift message included.

The deadline for ordering is Wednesday, December 1st.

To place an order:

• Visit the Mickman's Gift-It-Forward website.
• Select item(s) on the web store and proceed to checkout.
• If the items selected are being sent as gifts, fill out the ‘Christmas Greeting Card’ form with your personal holiday message. This seasonal message will be printed on a festive Christmas Card which will accompany the gift.
• Input 'ELTOROCA004' for the coupon code to make a $8 donation (included in the product price) to the non-profit organization you have chosen for each item in your order. The  donation applies to Holiday Evergreen Products only, as designated for each of the eligible products.
  Note: The donation is possible for these competitively priced Holiday Evergreens because you are purchasing direct from the manufacturer, with no middleman involved.

The downloadable PDF flyer below has more details.

Evergreen products shipped to Southern California are shipped to arrive no earlier than December 1st, to ensure that the fresh evergreens last through the Holidays. So now is the time to get your order in to ensure your decorations arrive in plenty of time for the holiday season. Shipping of all orders takes place up until December 15th. Please allow at least 1-3 business days for processing and then 2-5 business days for shipping after placing your order.
