Oil City Middle and High School Choirs

It's Time for the Annual Choir Apparel Order.  Order Form has been emailed to all middle and high school choir members, and to all parents enrolled in the email group.  You can also download and fill out the form at Mr. Luxbacher's teacher page ( http://www.ocasd.org/webpages/sluxbacher/files/apparel%20order%20form%202015.pdf ).   If you are using your OCMA fundraiser money, you will need to complete a funds disbursement form and submit with your order.  This form can be found at the bottom of Mr. Luxbacher's teacher page.  Website is:   http://www.ocasd.org/ webpages/sluxbacher .  

For some reason, your original order forms were not placed in the boxes, nor were they returned to us before pickup today.  If you gave us your yellow copies of the order form, we have those, and you can pick those up before 5:00.  If you want to wait until tomorrow, please refrigerate all food items, and you can get your yellow forms from us tomorrow morning.  Sorry for the inconvenience, and we will get to the bottom of the issue.  Thanks!

There were two backordered items that did not make it in in time.  They are the #1071 Piglet Pancake Non-Stick Pan, and the #8382 Soup and Cracker Mug.  You should have a slip in your box with the backorder information.  All backorders should be in by the second week of November.  If you have anything else missing from your orders, please contact Mr. Luxbacher or Mr. Cartwright ASAP.

REMINDER: Club's Choice Fundraiser Pickup today for band and choir members grades 8-12 who participated.  Pickup will be in the auditorium.  An announcement will be made 9th period when orders are ready for pickup.  Students with small orders should take them on the bus.  Pickup for large orders will go from 2:45 to 5:00.  Contact Mr. Luxbacher or Mr. Cartwright with questions.

We received word this week that the Oil City High School Quartets are the recipients of a $1,000 grant from Open Flow Energy to support the competitive arts in the public schools.  Proceeds from this grant will go to cover expenses for our quartet members to compete at Sweet Adeline's and Barbershop Harmony Society district and regional competitions this winter and spring.  We are grateful to Open Flow Energy for their generosity and their support of the arts in the communities they serve.
