A Big Boosterthon Thank You!

Thank you to all who supported our students in the Boosterthon Fun Run!  We had a great morning with the entire school community cheering on our PK3 - 5th Grade runners.  A special thanks goes out to all of our volunteers and the Varsity Cross Country team for kicking things off with the opening lap.  Our West Campus faculty and student cheerleaders were also much appreciated.  We are excited to report that $10,380 was raised to assist PRO with teacher appreciation, and Shannon Forest community needs and events.  Stay tuned to find out which class raised the most in the Fun Run and will win the ice cream party!
