What is a lip sync battle?
A lip sync battle is when performers pretend to sing the song. No singing is required.

Why are we raising money for St. Cecilia School?
St. Cecilia Mother Club is committed to raising funds for the St. Cecilia School general fund. The Spring Fundraiser is one of many different ways we raise those funds. These funds support the school in many ways and this year we are raising funds to purchase new science textbooks. Funds raised beyond minimum fundraising goals will be used on modest auditorium enhancements. The more we raise, the more we will be able to do to support the school and our students.

How does contest scoring work?
There are three ways for teams to earn points:

1. Student Lip Sync Video Contest (ends 3 p.m. on March 22nd) Each grade participated in a student “Lip Sync Battle” – an in-school activity where the kids performed and videoed a lip sync with their entire grade. These videos will be viewable for two weeks (look out for a special email explaining how you can see the videos) and viewers can “vote for their favorite” videos. Help put your grade’s team in the lead by liking the videos between March 6th-22nd. The first place winner with the most votes and hearts will get 100 points.
