JOPA

The Jenison Orchestras are enthusiastically supported by the Jenison Orchestra Parents' Association (JOPA). This "booster" group provides scholarships, parent support, uniform maintenance and other extras to our orchestras. They are funded by two fund-raisers during the year. The Jenison Orchestra "Smart Card" is our community discount card, good at many area businesses. The card is sold in the fall and is an annual success. JOPA also sponsors a spring fund-raising sale.

A portion of the profits from the JOPA fund-raisers are kept in orchestra student accounts. Students can use the money in their accounts to purchase music-related materials throughout the year. Strings, shoulder rests, rosin, music, medals and fees are just some of the things students use their accounts to pay for. All money in students' accounts must be spent on music materials by graduation. The accounts do carry over from year to year.
JOPA holds meetings every other month at the Jenison Junior High. Please plan to attend as many meetings as you can as we discover new ways to show off our students' hard work. The dates for the JOPA meetings can be found listed on the calendar.
