Home & School Direct Donation Drive
Please consider donating to your Home & School during our Direct Donation Drive! Our Direct Donation Drive eliminates the hassles of traditional fundraising programs (think selling wrapping paper or other items) and allows your money to work harder for our students! 100% of your donation goes toward programs for our students, such as field trips, birthday books for EVERY student, classroom parties and assemblies. All Home & School programs are made possible by the generous support of Steeple Run families. Check out the flyer on our website by clicking here for information on this program, as well as instructions on how to donate. Donations are due on or before March 22nd; please make checks payable to Steeple Run Home & School. THANK YOU! We appreciate your support!
