Support Excellence!

A HUGE THANK YOU to the anonymous donor who saved the BW Music Program for the 2010-11 year!!!!!

An anonymous donor has decided to provide $400,000 to save the district’s music program for this year. $313,000 will be used to cover salary/benefits for the music program staff and $87,000 will be used for music and educationally related materials, supplies, and human resources. This is an amazing gesture and will save the music program for this year. Please note that other programs were not affected and that this is only for this year - PLEASE FOLLOW THE EXAMPLE OF OUR DONOR'S GENEROSITY AND VOTE FOR THE LEVY IN NOVEMBER TO KEEP THE EXCELLENCE GOING!!!

The Kroger Community Rewards Program

The Big Walnut Music & Marching Boosters have partnered with the Kroger Company to help you raise money for your student’s band and/or choir expenses. When you register your Kroger Plus card in the Community Rewards Program, Kroger will pay us 5% of what our members spend each month and your portion will go directly into your BWHS student’s account. That money can be used for trips or other expenses related to participation in the Big Walnut music program.

Here’s how it works:

• Register online at krogercommunityrewards.com and be sure to have your Kroger Plus card handy.
• To select our organization, use our member number of 80182 or you can search by putting in Big Walnut Music Boosters
• After you register, send an email to Doian Stayton, Booster Treasurer at This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it letting her know you’ve completed the registration and include the student’s name you want the money to be credited to.
• You must swipe your registered Kroger Plus card every time you shop in order for your purchases to count towards the rewards.
• Kroger will send the Boosters a check each quarter along with a statement showing how much was earned by each Plus Card.
• The Boosters will credit each student’s account appropriately and send periodic emails advising you of your student’s account balance.

Thank you so much for your support!
