Fall Fun Night

Fall Fun Night was a huge success! It takes a lot of work to dismiss 1,000 students and transform the school in about 2 hours!

Thank you to all that volunteered the night of, made baskets, contributed to baskets, participated in the silent auction, showed up, threw water balloons at teachers, and more! Because of you we were able to raise about $24,000!

The money raised will be used for school needs as they come up but the biggest portion of money raised this year will go towards a synthetic turf field and turf in the gaga pit. This project is about $55,000 and will be a much needed improvement to our playground area. We are currently waiting for approval from the county and are excited to get this project going so that students can enjoy it.

Book Fair

Last week's Scholastic Book Fair raised $6,575.13 for our school!

Students were given the opportunity to "round up" their purchases for "All for Books' donations. These donations were used by the PTO to purchase books for students in need. This year $300 was donated.

So a big thank you to all the kids that "rounded up!"

You can still purchase books during our online book fair that ends today. 25% of purchases online directly benefits our school!
