 Run-a-Thon has Started!
Run-a-thon Reminder: Our school Run-a-thon is underway, and we encourage all families to register their student(s) as soon as possible to help support our school! The registration link can be found here. Registration is quick and easy, and every student who participates helps us get closer to our fundraising goal. As an added incentive, any student who raises funds between March 12 and March 15 will be entered into a raffle to win a special prize. Thank you for supporting our Dragons and helping make this event a success!
Congratulations to **Ms. Patton** and **Ms. Rose** for reaching an exciting milestone! 👏 Because 50% of their classes registered for the Run-a-thon, each teacher has earned a $50 Amazon gift card for classroom supplies.
