Boosterthon
Thank you for supporting the recent Boosterthon fundraiser. Over the course of two weeks, students learned about character and leadership traits through the fun theme of Castle Quest. The students rocked it out at the Fun Run, many students exceeding the goal of 35 laps! We are so proud of students! Thank you to all the parent volunteers who took time out of their day to come and cheer on the students, mark shirts, or pass out water. We appreciate you!
We are well on our way to reaching our $20,000 goal...only a couple more days of pledging left! Pledging ends the first week of December. Go to www.funrun.com and secure your pledge today!
