MATTRESS SALE FUNDRAISER - MARCH 10 - WEST CAFETERIA
Mattress Sale Volunteer Schedule/Location Assignments (to find your name quick, just do a "Control-F" to activate the "find" function.
Mattress Costume
Your goal is to draw attention to the students/parents waiving the yellow Mattress Sale signs, and you should also have a yellow sign. You will want to wear light clothing underneath – similar to what you’d wear under your marching band uniform, as it will probably be a little warm. Have your water jug with you! If you have the 9:15 - 11:00 shift, you will need to stop by the Band Room to retrieve the mattress costume and yellow sign BEFORE you head out to your assigned location. Plan on arriving at 9:00 AM at the latest to do this. Plan on meeting the people for the shift following you at your location, not back at the school.
Sign Holders
Use your yellow signs to draw attention to the mattress sale. Do not spin the signs or toss into the air – hold on with both hands and waive at cars as they pass. If you have the 9:15 - 11:00 shift, you will need to stop by the Band Room to retrieve the yellow sign BEFORE you head out to your assigned location. Plan on arriving at 9:00 AM at the latest to do this. If you would like to pick this up sometime on Friday, that works, too! Plan on meeting the people for the shift following you at your location, not back at the school.
Chaperones
Very easy – basically keep the students in line! Keep them aware of their surroundings and safe, but you can also join in on the sign waiving. There are a few of you who have two locations at once. I would suggest spending 15-20 minutes with each – shuttling back and forth between them. I’ve kept them fairly close together to make this easier. Plan on meeting the people for the shift following you at your location, not back at the school.
Above all – be safe. Remain on the sidewalk in all locations. Be aware of your surroundings (road and parking lot traffic, sidewalk traffic, pedestrians, etc.). Be friendly to everyone and be ready to explain why it is that you are out there (mattress sale at Winter Park High School cafeteria…profits go to the Band Program…etc.). If you run into any difficulties, just leave the area.
