Students had a great time participating in a fun run today to raise money for our school. These students (and their parents) pulled in $77,000 in pledges which means that our profits are almost $53,000! That's $15,000 more in profits than we have done in any previous year.




Tomorrow's the day!

Kinder and 5th start at 10:30
