On behalf of the students, teachers and Music Boosters, we thank you for your continued support. Currently, there are two fundraisers for the music department:

• Poinsettia Sale: 7- 12 grade students are selling  poinsettias from Canoyer's Garden Center for the upcoming holiday season. They come in three different color options (red, white, or red glitter) and two different sizes. A 6-inch plant is $15, and an 8-inch plant is $25.  Seek out a Treynor Middle school or High school band/choir student or email the booster group to order yours today! You won't be disappointed!  Sale ends Friday November 22, 2024.

• 88 Key Fundraiser:  The Treynor Music Boosters, in partnership with the Treynor Community School District, will be purchasing a beautiful new grand piano for the Fine Arts Theater.  The students and Music Boosters are hard at work fundraising for this opportunity, but your support is needed.  We are offering the opportunity for our patrons to purchase a key on the piano for $100.  With the purchase of a key, your name will be put on an actual piano key to be used in an art installation in the Fine Arts wing.  If you are interested, you can donate here.  (https://forms.gle/yUN5tKbUm8hq5SRM8)
