2023-24 Practice-A-Thon!

Every year MWSA holds a Practice-A-Thon fundraiser. Students record their practice minutes every day from March 11-22.  Students are encouraged to obtain pledges from family and friends. Pledges can be a specific dollar amount or can be per minute or hour practiced. At the end of the Practice-a-thon, students will submit their minutes practiced and donations online and receive prizes for reaching certain goals. In May at our concerts, MWSA will have grand prize drawings for students who practiced more than 200 minutes and have at least one donation (any amount).   

The Practice-A-Thon begins on Monday, March 11th and goes until Friday, March 22th.  Please see the attached Practice-a-Thon tracking sheet to help you record your minutes.  Parents will then submit practice minutes and donations  online at www.mountainweststrings.com between the dates of March 23rd-March 29th.  (Teachers will not be collecting donations.)
