Dance-a-thon! May 2nd-4th, 2022.
The yearly PTA fundraiser is back!
Funds raised from the dance-a-thon support PTA programs such as School Assemblies, Fall Fest, Holiday Breakfast & Secret Shop, Welcoming Breakfasts, Teacher Appreciation and more! Without your help, the PTA would be unable to fund these programs that benefit students, families, and teachers at our school each year. The actual dance-a-thon event will take place on Wednesday, May 4th, 2022.
For every $5.00 they return in pledge donations, students receive 1 virtual prize ticket!
(ex. $5.00 = 1 ticket, $20.00 = 4 tickets)
Virtual tickets will be used by students to pre-select prizes they would like to try and win via Google Forms.
Prizes for this year's drawing include
Gift Cards to local businesses, restaurants, and more…!
The PTA will also be recognizing highest class participation along with the top 15 fundraisers.
All donations need to be submitted online at:
