🎻 Good evening, Orchestra Family! 🎻

Quick reminder that our Trash Bag Fundraiser officially ends, August 21, 2026, TOMORROW! 🗑️💨

Please have your student bring their fundraiser forms to school along with cash or check. Checks should be made payable to Franklin Central Orchestras.

🏆 And don’t forget: We’ll be giving away a $50 gift card to the top seller!

And if your student hasn’t said it yet… THANK YOU! 💙 Your support of our orchestra students is very much appreciated and helps make this program possible.

Let’s finish strong! 🎻💪 #🎻💪

🚨 PARENTS… WE NEED YOU. 🚨

On September 15, our orchestra students are going to need their concert attire distributed, and right now…

👀 We have ZERO volunteers signed up.

Yep. Zero. Zilch. Nada. 🎻😬

We need 3 parent volunteers to help distribute concert attire starting at 3:00 PM for approximately 2 hours.

And students, this is your moment. 👇

Send this post to your parent. Tag them. Text them. Give them the look. 😂

Because nothing says “I love you” quite like volunteering so you can get your concert clothes without having to figure out where the heck you’re supposed to go. 😆🎶

It’s only 2 hours, it helps the orchestra run smoothly, and your student gets to say, “My parent helped!” 😂

🎻 3 spots.
⏰ 3:00–5:00 PM, September 15
🙋‍♀️ We need YOU.

Sign up and save the day. 💙

Don’t want to bother family or go door-to-door? No problem! Go where the trash actually happens. 😂🗑️

Try reaching out to:

• 🧹 Cleaning companies & housekeepers – They go through bags constantly.

• 🏢 Property management companies – Move-outs, maintenance, common areas… lots of trash, lots of bags.

• 🛍️ Small businesses – Restaurants, salons, offices, daycares, retail shops, etc. One business could be worth several family members’ worth of sales!

Think outside the house and help our orchestra students hit that fundraising goal! 🎻💙

Take a moment today to celebrate your little ones. They may be small, tiny humans, but somehow they manage to make a LOT of noise and bring an even bigger symphony of smiles. 🎶❤️

Happy National Son and Daughter Day! Here’s to the kids who keep life interesting, our homes loud, and our hearts permanently in the front row. 🎻🥁😂❤️

🎻 Orchestra Updates, Thanks, & Trash Bags Info (Yes, Really)

Big Hoosier THANK YOU to Shonk and the Orchestra Boosters for a super helpful meeting Wednesday night—and the grand tour of the new orchestra room for those who had not seen it prior! 🎻✨

👀 Want to get involved? Check the “Expectations for Families” photo for volunteer opportunities, or you can explore here for more information:

📸 The second photo = your cheat sheet for classes + concert attire (aka: what to wear so your kid doesn’t show up in chaos mode).

🗑️ Trash bags fundraiser: yes. Remember, this is the first year for a drawstring trash bag. Need more order forms? We’ve got you. Just ask and we’ll send extras home.
⏰ Due date: August 21 (don’t let it sneak up like a surprise violin solo). I’ll try to send out reminders so that doesn’t happen.

❓ Questions? Don’t guess—just ask us with a DM or message to Shonk via ParentSquare or email. Straight answers > hallway rumors.

🎉 WELCOME BoCK (bock bock)! 🎉

Hopefully today is the start of an incredible school year filled with new friendships, unforgettable memories, NO MORE AI generated posts (IYKYK 🤦🏼‍♂️😏), and just enough homework to keep things interesting. May these halls guide you toward greatness, wisdom… and the correct classroom on the first try. 😅

🚨 REMINDER! We’re only one camel hump away! 🐪

😭 Official Announcement

After a long, fun-filled season, Summer Vacation has entered hospice care.

Doctors say it has approximately 24 hours to live.

Please spend this time wisely:
🏊 One last trip to the pool.
🎮 One more “just five more minutes.”
😴 One final guilt-free afternoon nap.

Tomorrow…

The backpacks return.
The alarms go off.
The school buses roam the streets once again. 🚌

🎻 Class of 2030…

Tomorrow is the day.

If your stomach has butterflies, that’s okay.
If you’re excited, that’s okay.
If you’re feeling both at the same time… that’s completely normal.

Every sophomore, junior, senior, teacher, and orchestra parent once walked through those doors for the very first time, too.

Take a deep breath.

Tomorrow isn’t about being perfect. It’s about taking your first step.

Your orchestra family can’t wait to welcome you.

We’ll be waiting. 💙🎻 🎓

📅 Thursday (4 Days Left)

👕 Back-to-School Fashion Week

Parents:
“We’ve spent enough money to buy a small island.”

Students:
“I literally have NOTHING to wear.”

Somewhere in America…
A teenager is trying on Outfit #37.

Meanwhile…
Dad has been wearing the same cargo shorts since 2014 and sees absolutely nothing wrong with it. Also, commenting to leave his holy socks alone… those are great ventilation.
