To our incredible Student Unite for HER supporters, What a year it has been(and continues to be). Thank you for the bottom of the staff and board at Unite for HER's heart for your continuous, tireless effort towards our Students Unite for HER program. The pink games and events held this year thus far were remarkable and a joy to witness. From the students and teachers to the parent/family involvement, all-around - it was a huge success. Your involvement in this program allows Unite for HER to fund and deliver complimentary therapies that support the physical and emotional needs of 1,180 newly diagnosed women every year in the 31 hospital and cancer center communities we support. Because of your remarkable efforts, we are honored to award the Unionville Chadds-Ford school district a grant for a staff member or student with an immediate family member affected by breast cancer. Grant information can be found at the following link(https://uniteforher.org/programs/grants/) under Students Unite for HER Grant. Please note all grant applications must be postmarked by May 13, 2018 to be eligible. Any questions, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you again for uniting with us this year and we look forward to connecting again for 2018-2019! Have a wonderful rest of the year and fabulous summer!

Jill Keefer PRESS RELEASE Kennett-Unionville Band Boosters (KUBB), Publicity Contact April 19, 2018 484.802.2418

Cavalcade of Bands Honor Band Marching in 130th Rose Parade; Multiple Fundraising Activities Taking Place in Kennett and Chadds Ford Area The directors and staff of the Cavalcade of Bands Honor Band are beyond excited to be able to offer local students the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to participate in the 130th Rose Parade in Pasadena, CA. The Honor Band is one of just 20 marching bands, and the only group from this part of the country, selected to participate alongside elaborate floats and graceful equestrian units in the historic 130th Rose Parade on Jan. 1, 2019. The Honor Band consists of a diverse group of talented musicians representing the best of Mid-Atlantic high school bands, with approximately 90 students from both the Unionville High School and Kennett High School Marching Bands expected to participate. These students exemplify the positive impact music education has on young adults. They have made an incredible commitment of both time and resources that will be rewarded in January on a national stage. The cost to outfit, transport, house, and feed such a large group is staggering. The parents of participating students in the Kennett Consolidated and Unionville-Chadds Ford School Districts have formed the Kennett-Unionville Band Boosters (KUBB) to fundraise within our community to help offset the cost of the trip for each individual family. There are several ways you can support these young adults in May:

Shop and dine at The Market at Liberty Place in Kennett Square on May 1. KUBB will receive 15 percent of the sales on that day and the first Tuesday of each month for the rest of 2018. There is no need to mention the Honor Band or any supporting organization, just come out May 1 to enjoy the variety of dining options at The Market at Liberty Place.

Enjoy the Festival Cinco de Mayo taking place in the heart of Kennett Square on May 6. As you stroll around this family-oriented street festival enjoying great music and food, stop by the KUBB table. Band members will be selling rose lollipops and car magnets, as well as accepting donations.

Participate in the KUBB Business Blitz. Band students will be visiting local Kennett Square, Chadds Ford, and Unionville businesses to drop off donation canisters in early May. When you shop at these stores, please consider making a donation. Every little bit helps our student musicians.

Dine at Chick-fil-A in Concord Township on May 15. KUBB will receive 15 percent of the sales on that day from all guests mentioning Kennett-Unionville Band Boosters when they place their order. Guests can check to make sure KUBB receives credit for their order by looking for the words “Spirit Night” on the receipt.

About Cavalcade of Bands: The Cavalcade of Bands is one of many competitive band organizations in the United States and is one of several major circuits in the mid-Atlantic states. Cavalcade was founded in 1958 by the members of the Mid-Atlantic Judges Association and its member high schools. The organization currently has more than 145 member schools. It provides a large array of competitive performance opportunities including marching band, indoor guard, percussion, dance teams, and jazz ensemble. Cavalcade sanctions approximately 42 field band events as well as about 43 indoor events annually. About the Rose Parade: The Rose Parade is a celebration more than a century old – a festival of flowers, music, and sports unequaled anywhere else in the world. The Pasadena Tournament of Roses® has selected 20 marching bands that will participate in the 130th Rose Parade, themed “The Melody of Life.” The bands will travel to Pasadena, CA, from across the United States and around the world, including Canada, Costa Rica, Japan, Puerto Rico, and Sweden. In addition to marching in the five-and-a-half-mile Rose Parade on New Year’s Day, bands also perform in one of three Bandfest events. For additional information on the Rose Parade, please visit: https://www.tournamentofroses.com/

Say it Like You Mean It Public Speaking Camp The UHS Speech and Debate team will be hosting a Public Speaking Camp for incoming 4th graders through incoming 9th graders. The camp will run from August 6th through August 9th and students will have the option of enrolling in a morning or full day session. The sessions will be tailored to the campers' specific skill levels. Students will have the opportunity to participate in interactive workshops that are designed to help build a foundation in several core areas that are critical to public speaking: research skills, presentation, argumentation and interpretation of literature. Being able to clearly articulate ideas can help set students up for success. This camp will help students of all experience levels develop these skills in a fun, encouraging environment. Students attending the camp will work with me, Mrs. Julie Krause as well as several varsity members of our Speech and Debate team. Our staff is made up of 100% volunteers; all proceeds from the camp directly benefit the Speech and Debate Team. Public Speaking Camp Registration Form: https://goo.gl/forms/mZ3Asj11n8mR1jsC2
