Primary Annual Fundraiser
In 2011, our main annual fundraiser was the "Run for Fun." It was held on Friday, Sept. 30 during the school day. More students than ever before donated money to support our PTA, and we raised $17,620 - enough to support all of the programs the PTA sponsors for the school.
Learn more by visiting the Run for Fun page.
