Run for Education- Oct 19
All donations to be counted towards prizes will need to be received by 10pm on Tuesday, October 18th. Our goal this year is to raise $22,000! This fundraiser helps with our fieldtrips, the play, the new track and Boxlights for the classrooms!
Students who raise over $400 get to throw a pie at a teacher or a principal! Additionally, our event is extra special this year as we will be having a ribbon cutting ceremony to celebrate our new track!

Every dollar raised does make a difference!
