Thank you for joining us at our Fall Fest Fundraiser! This annual event is a long tradition and our community, teachers, staff, students, parents and families never disappoint. We had record ticket sales at nearly $6,000, triple the parent/family donations as last year, and amazing sponsors which brought our fundraiser very near the $10K mark! We are so proud to serve this community and continue our Panther traditions! From the bottom of this Panther Family's heart, "Thank you!"

We have some exciting new opportunities regarding our online tutoring platform. We would
like to remind you of some fantastic learning tools that will make this year even more enriching for

getting expert feedback on an essay before it’s handed in. Thanks to our partnership with Varsity
Tutors for Schools, an online learning platform with tutoring resources, every student has access
to helpful tools that can make a difference. Whether studying core subjects, learning new topics,
or trying to improve grades, Varsity Tutors is here to ensure your child has the extra support they
need, when they need it.
● Chat with a Tutor
● Academic, Career Readiness, and Extracurricular Classes
● StarCourses taught by celebrities!
● Essay Review with a Tutor
● Codeverse Studio: Learning how to code
● College Test Prep Classes and Practice Tests
● And more!
And the best part? Every student at our school can tap into these incredible resources without any
cost to you. All the details, including how to get started, are available on our school’s website or
the Varsity Tutors Launchpad. We encourage you to explore these tools together with your child
and take full advantage of what is available.
We’re excited to see all the amazing things your student will accomplish this year.
Here’s to a fantastic year ahead!
Best regards,
Cynthia Kubit
