Pasta Fundraiser
Our next fundraiser is here! Please consider sharing our fundraiser link with your family and friends: https://funpastafundraising.com/shop/vines-high-school-band. Raising $2500 will lower every student’s spring trip cost by $20, so the more we raise, the lower our final cost will be!
