Dear Caravel Families,
Caravel Music Boosters would like to welcome you to the 2017-18 music year. We invite you to join the Music Boosters and sign up to volunteer to help make this the best year yet. There are many musical activities for the students to join, and we look forward to their participation. The Music Boosters help to finance and/or organize musical festivals and competitions, camps for instruction, memberships to musical organizations (such as Tri-M), and the fall/spring Fine Arts Festivals and trips. All of this is possible with the help of our entire community through fundraising. We have been fortunate to have a wonderful group of volunteers help us over the years. Please help us continue this tradition and sign up to help us continue to enrich our children’s lives with music. We have the following exciting events planned for this year:
