SEED Annual Fund Appeal
Once again, it's time for our annual SEED fund campaign. The SEED fund directly supports Music for Learning, Outdoor Education, and our new SMART grants. Our District is once again bracing for heavy reductions in the education budget. Your help is more important than ever. Please give generously today by sending us a check or donating on-line.
