Thank You!
Thank you for supporting us! Rocket Blast is our annual fundraiser from PTSA. It kicked off on August 29 with an exciting pep rally. Next step: join a team! The team is your child's homeroom teacher's name. Every student who joins a classroom team by midnight September 1 will be entered into a drawing to ride the golf cart with admin inside the school! The drawing will take place on the morning news September 3! Please use the Rocket Blast Link Button below to see all of the incredible prizes students can win and how your donations support our schools! Our school goal is $30,000 this year. Thank you for your support!
