PTSA is now fundraising to provide San Juan Hills with a brand new Marquee.
For those who don’t know, a marquee is a rooflike projection over the entrance to a theatre, or in this case, on the front of the school. It would show upcoming performances, dances, games and other events.
Diane Sage, head of PTSA, stated that “A marquee would cost up to $40,000, including the sign and installation. Right now PTSA is fundraising to earn enough money to purchase one.”
“According to our PTSA treasurer, we have raised another $1,623 (after expenses are deducted) this school year, in addition to the initial $13,500,” said Janet Seymour, PTSA VP of Membership and Marquee Committee chair.
The school is trying to get the marquee as soon as possible and have already been working with CUSD on an acceptable plan for the project.
“The location of the marquee will be on the small island you see when you first enter the school on Vista Montana, at the fork where the student drivers veer to the left and parents bear left to drop off students. Marquee messages would be visible to all students, and I think our participation in school events would dramatically increase from the marquee notices,” said Seymour.
“We think a school needs a Marquee to have central communications to advertise all the amazing events we have at San Juan Hills High School, it can be one of the final touches to our school,” said Sage.
If any students, staff, or parents have any ideas to fundraise for a marquee, feel free to submit your ideas to Diane Sage ([email protected]), Janet Seymour ([email protected]), or the PTSA website at www.SJHHSPTSA.org. The website is now accepting tax deductible donations through paypal. Checks may also be made to the San Juan Hills PTSA, memo Marquee Madness. If every family donates at least $20, the project can be payed for.
