And Beyond...

We are heading into the last three weeks of our Annual No Bake Sale Fundraiser. Currently, we have raised almost $5000.00, but we still have a long way to go to hit our goal of $25,000.
 
The funds we raise directly support the STUDENTS, STAFF, TEACHERS and THE CAMPUS.
  

The No Bake Sale Drive ends on November 10th, so that we can order/deliver the participation prizes, as well as the prize drawings. We will graciously accept donations throughout the year.
 
Donation Forms came home several weeks ago, additional forms are available on the PTO Table in the Lobby Area.
 
Thank You!
