Un(fund)raiser Update
The PTA has decided to keep the Unfundraiser going, and as an incentive, we are entering all donor names into a drawing for a chance to win some cool prizes! You will receive one entry for every $10 donated. This includes all of those who have already donated, as well as future donors.
We will be holding the drawing at our 4th Annual Holiday Craft Night to be held on Friday, December 6th from 6:30 - 9:00 pm in the All Purpose Room. Currently, we have raised $11,387. Once again, we thank everyone who has already contributed and we are still enthusiastic about reaching our goal! Give a little, give a lot, give again...it all counts!! Visit the PTA website and sign-in to donate.
Thank you for your time and support for our kids,
