The Bellefontaine City Schools Music Boosters Mum Sale was a big hit this year.

BHS Choir Director Brice Henry reports that approximately 1,700 mums were sold by middle school and high school students the last few weeks.

Students raised around $6,000.

The money will be used to purchase instruments and uniforms and pay for special events.

Henry said, “We really appreciate all the support.”
