PLEASE CONSIDER becoming a student choir member sponsor.  The sponsorship is $2,000 per student or $200 per month. You may also contribute what you can and join in with other families.

acceptable too. The campaign will continue through September.  Please indicate “Student Scholarship” on the memo line of your check.
