We couldn't be more proud of our students and school community for how amazingly successful this fundraiser was!!
The goal was $25,000 and our incredible students raised $35,141!!! They completed 1,317 acts of kindness which included donations of 400 lunches to Uncle Pete’s Ministries and over 1,700 books to Bernie’s Book Bank!!

A BIG thank you to our corporate sponsors.

Raise Craze is almost here! We kick off MONDAY, October 4! Flyers with registration information will be sent home with your student on Friday 10/1. What exactly is Raise Craze? A fundraiser we can be proud of! This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling! Want more info?
