Dear GVHS Band and Orchestra Parents:

 

Every year we participate in an international jewelry show, being held this year at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center.  Band / Orchestra students and family members have worked this show for many years and we hope to continue this wonderful relationship.  The show is a very large production, and because of this, the security company is looking for many people to help out.  The work is not difficult--we work in the vaults checking in pieces at night and checking out pieces in the morning hours.  The shifts are as follows:

 

​June 3​Friday morning​7-9:30 AM

​Friday evening​5-7:30 PM

​June 4​​Saturday morning​7-9:30AM

​Saturday evening​5-7:30 PM

​June 5​​Sunday morning​7-9:30 AM

​Sunday evening​5-7:30 PM

​June 6​Monday morning​7-9:30 AM

​Monday evening​5-7:30 PM

​

As you can see by these dates, the students are finished with school. Every shift pays $10/hour per person ($25).  If you bring family members along, you can make quite a bit of money.  If you do the math, this is a great opportunity to raise a lot of money.  Remember, these funds go into the STUDENT ACCOUNT.  Because this is a very important commitment and because we’ve had such a huge response these last few years, we have a very organized method of signing up.  You will be able to request four slots (per student) beginning on Tuesday, May 17, at 11 AM.  You must do this through

email—dkoutsu@interact.ccsd.net.  

Every day after that Tuesday, you will be able to sign up for four more slots (per student), until they’re all filled up.  You will always receive a return email from me confirming the times and numbers of workers.  If you are not able to use the internet, please give me a call at (702)799-0950 ext. 4040, so that we can work out some other way.  

 

Thanks for your patience with us as we organize this very profitable event.
