PTA Superhero Fun Run Recap
Our PTA shared some stats from the Fun Run and they're impressive!
Thanks to your generosity and support, we raised an amazing $8,837!! 🎉 Because of this, we reached two school-wide goals:
- 🥧 7 people got pied in the face on Friday (always a crowd favorite!)
- 🎡 Spring Fling will be FREE for everyone (concessions will still be available for purchase)
Also!
