The support also helps extend academics and creates extra science and art, exploratories, and scholarships. In addition, these funds help us beautify and maintain our garden, grounds, and building!

If you can’t make the event or grandma lives out of town and wants to support the fundraiser, you can buy a supporter ticket and the funds go directly to our school! Use the QR code below for supporter tickets. Any amount is appreciated!!
