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!

Prairie Winds Orff is a group of North Dakota music educators who believe strongly in the power of music to change children's lives. Based on the Orff Schulwerk philosophy of music education, the camp focuses on music as a whole-body experience involving movement, playing instruments, singing, and creating. This camp is open to any 1st-5th grader. Mrs. Wyman highly recommends this camp to any student who enjoys music and wants to explore more music making opportunities. Your student will be coming home with a brochure for the camp tomorrow. Mrs. Wyman is currently a member of Prairie Winds Orff and will be volunteering her time at the camp this year. She hopes to see some familiar faces from Turtle Lake - Mercer attend the camp! Let Mrs. Wyman know if you have any questions.
