Tickets cost $7, which gets guests 2 big scoops of ice cream and unlimited toppings!  Students will get $5 for each ticket they sell for their account.  Tickets will go on sale on April 2 and must be purchased in advance (so we know how much to buy!)  If people complain that it is too much money, you can remind them that it *is* a fundraiser/performance AND...UNLIMITED TOPPINGS!!

Sign up to bring toppings!  http://www.signupgenius.com/go/20f0e49aba82faa8-icecream

the page unmistakably yours: collage, poem, drawings, stickers...whatever you want!

You can design it all online and print it out if you wish, or you can use the old-fashioned technique of glue and scissors.  There will be some free supplies for you to use if you wish, or you can provide your own paper/supplies.

Picture
The Unsung Hero is someone who has selflessly gone above and beyond to help, inspire and be a positive example to his/her colleagues.

This week's unsung hero is Blanca Castillo, who sings in Bellissima.  Blanca is amazing every day, but she was beyond wonderful at the concert—she even missed her own performance with one group because she was busy working for us.  Selfless is her middle name and I am truly grateful for her dedication.
