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 Boba Bee! 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, Wednesday, December 21st, between 1:00 PM and 10:00 PM. Boba Bee 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 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, and shipping is handled automatically. The wreaths, centerpieces, and other items look beautiful and have been very popular as holiday gifts with family and friends. It is the go-to place for holiday decorations. Anyone can order online (use 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 Friday, December 9th.
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 middle-man involved.

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.

Please continue to push the sales of the Disney Opportunity Raffle Tickets.  This is an amazing fundraiser for us, and the tickets basically sell themselves if promoted correctly.  Consider that for a $10 ticket, people can win Disney Gift Cards valued at over $850!  These cards can be used any time and at any Disney location in the world. So if you have family near Florida, or in France, these cards could be used to go to Disney World or Disney Paris! Parents and students—please do what you can to promote this fundraiser as we are rapidly nearing the end of the season! This fundraiser will end on Wednesday, November 10th, during the dine-out at Wahoo's Fish Taco, where the winners will be announced at 7 PM sharp.

Hope to see you all there on Wednesday night for the announcement of the winners. Until then, good luck with your sales efforts!

We are still working towards meeting our projected budget for this season, which is rapidly coming to a close. Our program is funded by parent contributions. If you have not yet made your contributions and are able to, please get those in ASAP! That would help the program tremendously, as we always try to end the season in the positive.

Please see the letter below from our Boosters President, with details on our financial situation and fundraising efforts, and on how you can help.

Thank you for your generous support of the program!
