Thanks to your overwhelming support and generosity, we didn’t just reach our $5,000 fundraising goal—we completely blew it out of the water! Together, we raised an incredible $22,585! Your donations will directly enhance our school’s resources, providing our students with even more opportunities for a top-notch educational experience.
4. Lost and Found - Families it is important to write your student's names in their jackets and hoodies. We are trying our best to return items that have names written on the tags or on the name plates inside of the clothing. Items that are not returned will be donated to the Clothing to Cash white box, which is a yearly fundraiser for Page ES.
