The School for Strings is a 501 3C non profit corporation, operating in Port Huron, Michigan. It is governed by a Board of Directors who are elected by its membership during their Annual Meeting in December each year. All families are invited to become members of the corporation. Membership with voting rights costs $5 per year per family. Annual Meetings are normally held just before an all-school Ensembles Concert. During this time all students are in rehearsal for the program.
TUITION AWARD OPPORTUNITY
The School for Strings Board is hosting an opportunity for families to earn a
$100 off Winter Tuition Award.
Every time you shop a Krogers, using your Kroger Card that is linked to the School for Strings, your receipt will have that information at the bottom. Just write the name of the student you wish to receive that award and bring it to Dr. Brown. It will go into a jar for a drawing. The drawing will take place at the Annual Parent Meeting just prior to the December Ensembles Concert. You can enter as many receipts as you wish. You can ask your friends, parents, siblings, coworkers to participate also. It cost you nothing to shop with your Kroger Card linked to the School for Strings while the School receives a donation from Kroger that goes into its general fund. This not only helps to keep our tuitions lower, it is mandatory that we earn significant donations (10% of our budget) in order to keep our non profit status. That non profit status also works to keep our tuitions lower. It's win-win. Do take part!
