✨HELP US GRANT A TEACHER'S WISH✨

Hello everyone!

We held our Pep Rally & Alumni Reunion on Saturday, and it was a great event! THANK YOU to everyone who attended or made a donation.

Each year at the pep rally, we feature a Teacher Wish Wall where teachers post items they would love to have for their classrooms. Supporters can then choose a wish they’d like to grant. There are still several wishes left, and you can help fulfill them by purchasing an item through March 23.
