Winter Guard will be having a Gift-wrapping fundraiser where students and chaperones will help wrap gifts for donations. If you have gifts and not enough time to wrap, please bring your gifts to The Posh Tot on Black Friday November 29th from 10:00 am – 4:00 pm and we will wrap them for you. You can leave your gifts with us while you shop or take a break for lunch.
There are 3 ways for parents to donate and 2 weekends to participate. We will update the sign-up genius with the secondary location and times as soon as they are finalized.
- Please donate holiday giftwrap, scissors, bows and tape. We have a donation box available at The Posh Tot to drop off your donated materials.
- We are also asking parents, friends and family to sign up to bring a collection box to your work to collect materials needed. A wrapped box with sign will be provided.
- On Nov 29th we will also be accepting cash donations or donated materials.
There will be set donations prices with incentive for multiple wrapping.
We will also sell gift tags/cards as a premium add-on.
The Bucs have their next home game scheduled Sunday December 8th & December 22nd. We have fun volunteering our time for this great organization and they in return pass donations to your student’s fair share. Please see the Sign-up Genius below. We have additional spaces available and need your help to fill them. As soon as we receive reporting information, we will pass on to those who are listed on the Sign-up Genius

We will need students and Level II parent chaperones to sign up. Donations will be split evenly into student’s individual fair share.
Do you or a friend, family member or neighbor need some help with basic handy man work in the home? We would like to pair people with household needs such as cleaning gutters, lawn work, gardening, light handy-work or other miscellaneous chores with those band/color guard parents who can help, and funds donated will go to their fair share.
Do you need help with decorating your home for the holidays such as hanging lights or lawn ornaments? Prepping your home for the holidays could be completed by a fellow band/guard parent.
Would you like to save money on calling random professionals for simple jobs around your home that you have not been able to find the time to complete? Instead utilize your band/guard parents and support their fair share.
List your chore needed and we will distribute the request back out to the band/guard parents to find volunteers.
Please no electrical or heavy machinery requests.
Please call Amber Kmet at 727-743-7181 to list your need to the list.
Dads will sign up for the job.
Dad will not handle any money. Money is paid up front (blue box).
Share the flyer with your friends, family and neighbors. Please also share on your Facebook.
