One week down in our one big fundraiser of the year! If you haven’t yet registered for the Read-a-Thon, you can do that here (and use our school code: 5d2e019759df6). There’s still time! Money raised during this event helps pay for events like Supergames!

Thank you to the families and neighbors who have already generously donated. If every student in the school raises $30, we’ll meet our goal!

As we prepare for this year’s Trunk or Treat, we need your help to make it a spooktacular event. Our friendly monster is hungry for donations, and we’d love for you to "feed" it with candy, or small prizes to hand out at the event!

You can drop off your donations in the monster bin located in the front vestibule starting 9/30/2024. Every little bit helps, and together, we can make this event unforgettable for our kiddos!
