Fruit and Butterbraid Sales are right around the corner!
With the growth of our program it is very important that we increase our sales this year for our annual fundraiser. The profits from this goes directly to the members so that they can participate in events for free! ALL students in grades 7-12 are eligible to sell for the program. Sale starts Monday October 24 and ends in November. Please pick up sales forms from Ms Fritz!
