Major Saver Discount Card Fundraiser Postponed
In light of the attempted child abduction that took place earlier this week in our community, the district feels now is not a good time to deploy our Major Saver discount card fundraiser which involves preschool, elementary and middle school students.
We are working with Major Saver to reschedule this fundraising initiative as it was scheduled to launch October 19, and will share that information with you as soon as it is available. Thank you in advance for your flexibility and support as we work to make the best decisions possible in the interest of our students.
