Spring Trip/Fundraising

 

 

Information will be posted at the start of the school year regarding the spring trip location, itinerary, costs, and fundraisers. Below you will find information pertaining to the trip's eligibility requirements. You can also read through the Fine Arts Handbook (on the left) for more information.

1. Students in multiple groups within the AASD Fine Arts Department will only pay the fair share one time each year. 
2. The fair share is non-refundable and non-transferable.
3. Deadline for payment is November 1st.

1. Any person 16 or older can represent the student in the concession stand: parents, grandparents, aunts, uncles, or the student him/herself. Clearances are not required.
   
   
2. All eligible Mansion Park events are listed on the CutTime website: signing up for anyone will fulfill the requirement (sign-ups are first come, first serve).
   **To sign up, click on your CutTime magic link. click on the “Altoona Area JH SH Music” link under your name and find dates needed for signups under “Events.” Workers will input both their name and the student name at the event, so that the student gets credit. Parents/guardians needing their magic link re-sent should go to https://app.gocuttime.com/guardian/resend-magic-link
   
   
3. If this requirement is not met, the student will not be eligible to attend the end-of-year banquet celebration.

The CutTime website is used by the Fine Arts Boosters to post volunteer sign-ups and to track student payments for both fair share and trip fees. Every new student in the Fine Arts Department will have an account created and a “magic link” will be sent to both the student and their guardian. The “magic link” will be sent repeatedly through the year, but it is a good idea to bookmark it for access any time. More information is available in the Fine Arts Handbook (see files to the left)

 

 

We will be adopting the FAB's policies for selecting chaperones. Parents are selected based on how many hours they put into volunteering to assist the Fine Arts Department and working the Mansion Park Concession stands (the chief source of fundraising for the Fine Arts Dept). Parents with the most hours will be the first considered. Chaperones DO NOT PAY to attend the trip, but they are expected to assist and supervise in any way needed while on the trip.

 

If this is something that interests you, the good news is that helping with the drama club's work days for our show sets/costumes/props WILL count as volunteer hours. We will also count the hours spent helping to sell tickets/other fundraisers before our shows.

 

Fill out the parent interest form to the left (under "Important Forms") and be on the lookout on CutTime for when we need some help. 

 

FAB plans several fundraisers over the course of the year to help students pay for their fair share and trip fees. You will see information about upcoming ones come out at the Drama Club meetings, on BAND, and through the CutTime website. We will also still be offering our annual program ad fundraiser.

 

You can find more information at the "Program Ads" link on the left side of the page. Another year-round fundraiser, the Scrip program, has also been included for your reference. Lastly, the Mansion Park Concession Stands (in addition to earning you volunteer hours) also earn you $3 per hour towards your student's trip fee/fair share. You may sign up through CutTime.
