Last week, we had our 9th grade Seminar where seniors came and spoke with the 9th graders on the importance of getting off to a great start during their high school careers, the impact it can have on their future opportunities, and gave out sound advice on what resources they should be utilizing to succeed. They also stressed the importance of getting involved in the school and community as a whole.

We are excited to announce our upcoming fundraiser, aimed at raising funds to offset the cost of the prom. This is a wonderful opportunity for our school community to come together, support a great cause, and make a real difference for our current Juniors.

Event Details:

• What: Snap Fundraiser
• When: Nov 1 to Nov 15
• Where: Online

We would love for families to get involved, whether by contributing donations, or helping spread the word via social media. Every bit of support brings us closer to our goal!

How the Funds Will Be Used:
The funds raised will be used to defray the cost of prom. With all the other expenses related to prom, such as a dress, tux, limo, etc., this would help lower the ticket cost or eliminate it all together. Any money left over would follow the Class of 2026 to senior year. These left over funds will go toward senior activities, such as Senior breakfast, reception, class trip, etc.

Below is the QR Code to share with family, friends and post to social media. Use code 417-417-805

If you have any questions, please contact either Mrs. Kristina Ansara-Stachowski or Mrs. Brianna Miele

Thank you in advance for your generosity and support. Together, we can create memorable prom experiences for the Class of 2026.
