Dear Enochs High School Instrumental Music and Color Guard Program Families:
In our continual effort to provide our new and returning Enochs High School Instrumental Music and Color Guard Families with timely information, we wanted to notify you of the Fair Share Donation amounts for next year at this early time so that you can make your financial plans over the summer in anticipation of the beginning of the school year in August.
"What is the Fair Share Cost for your student to play music at Enochs High School?”
Our music program at Enochs High School strives to give students a life-long love for music and music making. In a perfect world, (like when we were in high school!), school programs received nearly adequate funding from the school district, and supplemental fundraising was minimal. Times have changed. While we are fortunate at Enochs to have an administration and district office that are supportive of the arts and provide basic resources (classroom, instructor, and other limited resources), high school instrument programs have a tremendous number of operational needs that are not covered completely by the district. Capital expenses are very high such as the cost of instruments, uniforms and sheet music. Operating expenses such as festival fees, copyright fees, instrument repair, uniform cleaning and transportation are essential and costly. The school district does what it can to equitably fund all programs - we must find ways to make up the difference. This year, that cost is approximately $73,000. Consequently, one of the ways we are seeking to "cover the gap" is by asking families to make a fair share contribution to our program in the amounts and by the dates listed on the form that will be handed out by Mr. Vallejo. These contributions, with the exception of the district approved fees, are tax-deductible.
Please know that Enochs High School is not unique in its request for fair share contributions. All of Modesto’s high school music programs depend on the collection of fair share donations to fund their programs, and even though Enochs is a newer program in comparison, our requested fair share donation amount is the same or similar to the amounts requested by the other high schools.
Your fair share contribution is but one vital component to the success of our program, now in its tenth year and growing. To ensure that the Enochs High School Instrumental Music and Color Guard Program attains all that it can be, families will need to contribute time, effort and, yes, money. We understand that all three of these personal resources are in short supply with our busy lives, but these contributions are all worth it as this outstanding group of students continues to grow and improve. Without your support, the Enochs High School Instrumental Music and Color Guard Program will be greatly diminished.
Thank you,
Kristen Marine
