Hello Richmond Bands Supporters,
Kroger Community Rewards sends the Richmond Band Boosters a check for a portion of almost everything you purchase at Kroger. Just sign up your card following the instructions below and you can be part of helping our booster program continue to fund necessary items that make the music education experience for your young musician the best it can be. This is a simple fundraiser that generates funds by doing something you do every time you shop already!
Taking advantage of this will not affect your fuel points and some purchase exclusions to apply to benefit the organization. The band boosters never see who it enrolled or what items are purchased. We simply receive a check every time you swipe your Kroger card.
If it is the first time you are registering as a member will need to set-up an account first.
For a member to enroll their card simply go to www.krogercommunityrewards.com
You are now enrolled!
OTHER INFO:
• REMEMBER, purchases will not count for your group until after your member(s) register their card(s).
• Do you use your phone number at the register? Call 877-576-7587 to get your Kroger Plus card number.
• Members must swipe their registered Kroger Plus card or use the phone number that is related to their registered Kroger Plus card when shopping for each purchase to count.
Kroger Rewards annually helps to ensure that we have the resources available for our Richmond Instrumental Music students. Please continue to support us through this very easy fundraiser!

Congratulations to the Richmond Middle School 8th Grade Band! On Thursday the 8th Grade Concert Band participated in the MSBOA District 16 Band Festival at Fraser High School. The 8th grade band was awarded a strong Second Division rating from the panel of three adjudicators in the class C division and earned a medal. The adjudicators judged the band in the categories of Tone, Intonation, Rhythm, Technique and Interpretation. These students did earn a First Division in Sight Reading! This ensemble has accomplished a great deal to date and we are looking for continued success as we move toward our spring concert. Congratulations to the students on their outstanding performance to conclude a great festival-preparation season!
