AMB WEEKLY UPDATE 11/9/2025

OMG We reached 50% of our goal in less than 4 days!!! That’s $15,000 raised so far! That is absolutely amazing! With that kind of excitement, we are on track to totally crush our $30,000 goal! We can do it together!!

​Now that we are half-way there, here’s how we get it done:

1) BECOME ACTIVE! There are still 109 students who are NOT ACTIVE! That means you don’t have at least 15 contacts in your Widdy-Up Dashboard. 0 Contacts = $0! We need your help by putting in your 15 contacts and becoming active if you haven’t done it yet. And if you haven’t even created a dashboard yet, it’s definitely time to do that! Go to the following link to sign up:

2) ADD MORE CONTACTS! More contacts will reach more people! If you have your 15, now add 10 more! The more people you reach and share, the more your sales will increase!

3) GO FOR THE PRIZES! Top 3 sellers receive a VISA gift card. Top 10 sellers get a Main Event part. Top classroom total sales gets a pizza/DJ party on a 90-minute block period.

FOOTBALL GAME ATTENDANCE: Friendly reminder that attendance at football games is a major performance and is required. The school district and the Atascocita campus require band, dance, cheerleaders, ROTC, and others to attend these games. Therefore, it is a major performance credit for our program. I am unable to give credit for students who miss the games for unexcused reason which will have a negative impact on your grade in band. More information can be found on rehearsal and performance attendance in our band's handbook at this link below:
