Parents/Students
1st Quarter
The federal government provides financial support for local schools based upon the number of students whose parents live or work on federal property. School districts must survey parents once each year to make this determination. Examples of this include USFS employees, AHFC residents or parents who are working on national forest land. Please complete the survey and return it to the school asap. Thank you!!

Tickets are $5 each. There will be 2 winners drawn; 1 winner will receive a $500 gift card to Bob's IGA - 1 winner will receive a $500 gift card to City Market.
