your school and spotlights
your music program!

Celebrating a Century of Caroling
1911-2011
at your holiday programs!
We can provide collection canisters and
information on the agencies we help.

We can also provide songsheets to try
this variation on collecting at a program,
shared by
Rhonda Saltzman, music specialist at
Iveland Elementary School
in the Ritenour School District:
"After my holiday show,
we have a Sing Along
with the audience and pass the
red StLCCA cans down each row.
We collected $90 just
passing the cans!"  
Her Student Council also
holds a Candy Cane sale
for two days at lunchtime,
with proceeds to the StLCCA.
We hope you will consider
caroling with your students,
to experience the joy and satisfaction
"Caroling for a Cause" can provide.
. . . for Music Teachers, Choir Directors, Counselors, Club Sponsors,
Scout Leaders and anyone who works with children...

We receive many requests for carolers to perform
at the airport, stores, tree lighting ceremonies, and
holiday events.  Smaller groups are often needed,
or jazz choirs, as well as smaller church choirs.  

It's a wonderful way to gain recognition for your
church or school's music program while giving your
members additional performance opportunities.
The StLCCA is provided with a donation in exchange
for arranging the performance.  
If you are interested in these opportunities, call our
office or use the form on the "Join us!" page -
we will match an event to your location and availability.
Do a Special Sing!
Carol inside your school!
"In-School Caroling" from
Rose Nester, former music specialist  
in the St. Louis Public Schools:
"send home a note a week or so
before the planned in-school caroling,
asking that all students bring in
'pennies for the carolers'.
Then, with a small group of singers,
move through the school,
singing in several locations,
as students drop their coins in
the collection cans.
What a wonderful way to model
caroling itself and also demonstrate
giving to your community!  
Music Teachers
aren't the only
school personnel
who can be
caroling leaders!

Counselors, Student
Council and other
club sponsors make
great caroling
leaders!

We would be happy
to visit your group
to discuss caroling -
call our office to
schedule and for
more information!
Can't carol
outside of school?
Caroling - what a fun way for
high school students or
confirmation candidates to satisfy
community service requirements!

Create a "Caroling Club"!
Here's another wonderful school idea,
submitted by Dr. Betty Scheller,
principal, Lawson Elementary School,
Hazelwood School District.
"A staff member (not the music
teacher) has developed a "Caroling
Club" within the after school club
structure our district offers.  Students
meet several times after school to
practice, then meet at school one
evening with their families - we divide
school neighborhood, then return to
the school for hot chocolate and
cookies." What a great way to reach out
to your community!
