A Delicious FUNraiser

Click on the letter for more information and the flyer for ordering details and coupons.

Every 3rd Thursday of the month, we will offer a Marcos Pizza night starting next Thursday, Sept. 21st! The winning homeroom will receive a free pizza party! If you have more than one child, when ordering select all the teachers names that apply and the order will credit each child’s classroom.  Marcos Pizza Delivers!
