On Monday, 4/24/23, your student will receive information regarding our fundraiser and the ability to enter the Golden Ticket Drawing.

As students fundraise, they will have the ability to be awarded prizes, and all students will be able to participate in a field day at the end of May.

The proceeds for the event will help End of Year Student Activities, Field Trips, Classroom Enrichment in addition to new technology, curriculum enhancements, and innovative learning materials.
