For those of you who don't know her yet, Jessica Lawson is a third-year Color Guard member. Jessica has been concerned about the ongoing budget problems that our school district faces and the affect that has and will have on the Folsom High School Music program. She decided to take matters into her own hands, put on her fundraising hat, and attended the local Folsom Prison chapter of the California Correctional Peace Officers' Association meeting last week.
At the meeting, she requested a donation of $250.00 dollars. She explained to the members of the CCPOA that the music budget had been impacted because of the statewide budget cuts and that our competition budget was also affected. She told them that numerous fundraisers were taking place to fund the travel and food for the Marching Band and Color Guard. During the meeting, the members were so impressed with her presentation that they added an additional $750.00 to her original request, for a grand total donation of $1,000.00 to the Folsom High School Music Boosters fund! Jessica presented the check to the Marching Band at this week's practice.
Thank you Jessica for representing us so well and thank you to the Folsom Prison California Correctional Peace Officers' Association for supporting our cause. Outstanding!
