We are kicking off our SPIRIT WEAR fundraiser to continue raising money for improvements and renovations of our Preschool and Elementary playgrounds. We would like to be able to remove the mulch from our playgrounds and replace it with rubber padding as well as relocate the preschool playground. Our plans are to start the playground renovations in May 2018 !! Renovations such as this will be very costly, so you will see different opportunities to contribute to this fundraising throughout the year.
This is a ONE TIME ONLY order and all orders MUST be received by November 30, 2017.
100% of every order goes directly to the playground fundraising!!
Spirit Wear from these orders can be worn on Spirit Wear days only. Please see the attached order form for this Spirit Wear order. Samples are available in the school office for sizing if needed. All orders will be returned in time to be given as Christmas gifts. If you would like to pick up your order in the school office rather than having it sent home with your child, please be sure to note this on the order form. If you have any questions about the playground renovations, or are interested in helping with future fundraising for these renovations, please contact Lacy Ralston @ 573-636-8922 ext. 329.

This has been very popular with teachers and staff. If you send in a regular scrip order, please send a separate check for generic scrip.
