It’s time once again for the Sparkman High School Band’s annual fruit sale from Florida Indian River Groves! Fruit sales start today, Tuesday, October 1st, and run until, Friday, November 8th. Delivery of fruit will be on Saturday, December 7th, just in time to enjoy during your Holiday break. Your band student will come home with a packet containing a fruit sale brochure and order form.
Why should I sell fruit?
Our fruit sale is the one fundraiser where we allow you to use your profit towards paying off your upcoming fees. A student’s fruit sale profit can be used to defray the costs of any 2019-2020 Indoor Percussion and Winter Guard fees and can also be used towards paying 2020 Booster Fees. You could potentially pay off all your fees just by selling fruit! Please see your student’s fruit packet to see the amount of profit for each box sold.
Ordering:
Band members will begin taking orders on October 1st. Payment must be collected at the time the order is placed. Please make sure all checks have a phone number and are written to SHS Band. All cash/check orders must be turned in on Thursday, November 7th, or Friday, November 8th. Orders not received by these dates will not be processed.
Online ordering with a credit/debit card will be available from October 1st through November 8th. Those that order online will have the option of having their fruit delivered on the truck to Sparkman or paying extra to have it shipped directly to them.
We are additionally providing you with a sample online ordering card (link) you can hand out to potential customers.
