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).
