We especially want to thank all those who have donated to our fundraiser. We are so close to our goal of $20,000 for our school garden and Education Outside program. We will be accepting donations until this Friday 3/23/18. There are donation forms in the office or you can print it below and turn in donations with your own envelope. We will announce the top fundraiser winners will be announced March 28. T-shirts, fidget spinners, and homework passes should be delivered after spring break. 

Thank you again! Please see prize info below. Please contact the PTA if you have any questions.
