Walk for Education
We are proud to announce that we will be having our annual Walk for Education
fundraiser on Friday, October 9, 2015. Our goal is to raise $40,000 this year. If each
child raises $50 or more, we will meet our goal.
This is the only major fundraiser for the school and is not connected to PTA. It is a fun
event for all! Walk for Education will provide essential funds for our students and school.
