We do understand it may be difficult for you to tell your child "no" when he or she requests you run something up to school that he or she forgot, but we can promise you that the lesson learned of doing without for a day will far outweigh the relief of rescuing them. Please help us help our students become self-sufficient and responsible before they enter high school.

Bally + Kroger = 4% Cash Back
We are LIVE with Kroger Community Rewards. Kroger will give Bally 4% of your grocery bill and they will never take anything away from you (including your fuel points). Just go to kroger.com and connect your plus card to our school. Here's a video to show you how simple it is!!
PS: If 100 people spend $100 a week on groceries, each person earns our school $4 per week. $10,000 for Kroger AND $400 for Bally. If we add that up over the course of a year...that's $20,800 for Bally to spend on ipads and programs and nets to keep the basketballs in the play area and soccer goals and club sponsors and so, so much more. Please connect. Please. Begging.
Volunteer Opportunity: 11:30am-12:40pm daily
