How we are doing:
Here's a quick recap of our most recently completed fundraisers and the amounts we have raised so far this year. We are so appreciative of everyone who helps to make these fundraisers a success. From the chairs and volunteers, to the participants and sponsors, we couldn't do it without all of you! As a reminder, the proceeds from our fundraisers help to fund: school assemblies, field trips, clubs, picnics, school improvements, PTA events, and more!
Spring Book Fair: $916
Gertrude Hawk: $1,890
A big thank you to all who donated for our Easter Basket drive that helped provide Easter Baskets to Mount Carmel Guild for the less fortunate!
