This week, we are gearing up for our annual Crab Feed and Auction which is THIS Saturday. Both the PTG and School Board are joining together for this evening, with auction items that are normally at the endowment event to make this our annual BIG fundraiser, and we couldn't be more excited! Class baskets, front row graduation seating, principal for the day and Giants tickets are among the items that will be auctioned! We still need YOUR help to make this event a success. Please click on the link to volunteer and/or bring in items as requested for your room parent(s) for your class basket. A reminder that you receive 1 PPP hour for every $25 item you donate.
