A HUGE thank you to ALL who participated and helped during this Fundraising Event.  Thank you again to Grace City Church for their help with snow cones for ALL of our students!  Our school raised $1916.00 with 10% donated to Relay for Life ($191.60) and 90% ($1724.40) going to our new Playground Fund!

Friday, October 26, 2018 was our annual Walk A Thon Fundraiser.  Students have been collecting pledges from family and friends and 10% of the proceeds go to Relay for Life.  Due to the weather, we held the event in our gym.  Each grade level walked 25 minutes during their enhancement time.  Guests were invited to come walk as well.  Pledges are due by Monday, October 29, 2018.  For more information, visit our link below:
