WELLS — The music program at Wells Junior High School is holding a Mattress Fundraising Sale on Nov. 22 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. The event is to raise money to cover expenses to send the Wells Junior High School Choruses to two music festivals in the spring of 2015.
For one day, the Ward Gymnasium will be turned into a large mattress showroom displaying more than 20 styles of new mattress sets including Simmons Beauty Rest. Featured will be memory foam and latex mattresses marked down 30 to 60 percent off retail prices. There will also be sales representatives available to answer questions.
According to WJHS Music teacher Katie Mercier, the goal of this “no pressure” sale is to raise $5,000 to help the seventh and eighth grade choruses attend the Six Flags Music Festival in Agawam, Massachusetts, T-shirts, and admission for all attending singers to visit Six Flags New England.
In addition, money raised from the mattress sale will similarly help send fifth and sixth grade choruses to the Funtown Music Festival in May.
Those needing a new mattress for their home, camp or just for a better night’s sleep, are invited to attend this sales event. For more information, call WJHS at 646-5142.
