SCRIP Program Still in Full Swing

We are pleased to announce that Raley's and Belair have contributed over $8,000 to the Folsom High School Music Boosters since the inception of the scrip program 5 years ago. Please continue your support by shopping at these stores. A special "Thank You" goes to John Phillips, Manager at Raley's in Empire Ranch. Thanks also to Jeanne Foley, who is heading up this year's scrip program once again.

There are two programs available:
No. 1: The Quality of Life Program - Raleys, Bel Air, (and Nob Hill for family in the Bay Area). The local Raleys and Bel Air Stores will donate 1%-4% of your purchases to the Folsom Music Boosters every time you show them your card at the register. Contact Jeanne Foley and she will set you up.

No. 2: eScrip uses a broader scope of businesses. Please check out this website http://www.escrip.com/ . As you can see, Safeway, Eddie Bauer, Macy's, etc are included. You will need to register yourself online. The Folsom High School Music Boosters are already enrolled in the program, ID#154783066. If you have questions, please contact Jeanne Foley at (916)983-6310 or at jjnnfoley@sbcglobal.net.

Alumni Corner

Kelsey Iverson is a 2006 Folsom High music graduate who played trombone in Jazz Band I and sang with the Jazz Choir. Kelsey went on to play the trombone with the Sacramento State University Jazz Band A, the Sac State Orchestra, and several chamber groups. She graduated in 2010 with a Bachelor's Degree in Music Trombone Performance.

Kelsey is currently spending 3 months living in Prague and traveling throughout Europe. Kelsey said, "I am reminded of the Folsom Jazz Eurotrips in 2002 and 2006 almost every day here!" When she returns to the U.S., she plans to attend grad school, possibly at CU Boulder in Colorado. But that decision won't be made until she hears back from all of her applications. We wish you much good luck, Kelsey, from your Folsom High music supporters!

If you are in contact with former music students or are the parent of an alumnus, please submit an update to publicity@folsommusic.org and we'll post the news here. Photos are welcome too!
