Turtle Lake-Mercer Music Department is doing a fundraiser to help raise money for the music trip next year and to cover the cost of the festivals they attend throughout the year. The primary thing they are selling is cookie dough, cheesecake, pizza, and other frozen desserts. You can order these items with any of the TLM 7th-12th grade band or choir members. The students are also selling a variety of non-frozen items through their online store. If you know a 7th-12th grade band or choir member from TL-M, ask them for their specific code/link to support that student towards their trip. If you would like to purchase items to support the music department in general, here is the link. All frozen items will be shipped to the TLM school for distribution late February/early March. Any non-frozen items can be delivered right to your door. Thank you very much for your support!
