The Sienna Exchange Club along with the Missouri City Fire Dept., are hosting a food drive from Feb 5th - March 16th to benefit the Fort Bend Women’s Center.

Alyssa Ferguson was chosen because Mr. and Mrs. Ferguson are members of the Sienna Exchange Club. The entire club attended our dedication last year in support of the Ferguson Family!

Raise Craze kicked off today! The KINDNESS CREW introduced the program during each lunch period so your Fireflies are ready to start spreading kindness while raising a little money for our school. Let's follow in Alyssa's footsteps and change the world one small ACT OF KINDNESS at a time!

What is Raise Craze? Raise Craze is an online platform enabling students to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email, text, or social. During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others.

Check out the “How It Works” video to see how this super simple and sweet fundraiser works! https://raisecraze.com/how-it-works-video Get Registered Today!
