We have recently partnered up with Food Lion with the LionShop and Share program. Lionshop and Share is the easiest, most convenient way to raise money for the Carson High School Band program. Each time you shop at Food Lion and use your MVP card, a portion of your total grocery purchase will be donated to the band program. You can help us raise money by signing up at foodlion.com, and searching for the JESSE CARSON HIGH SCHOOL BAND, or by completing the Food Lion file attachment and sending it in to school with your child. As always, we appreciate your continued support of the Carson High School Bands.
