Who does the Denim & Diamonds Evening Benefit?

Our La Salle Academy students, of course!

Here are just a few things PTO provides to our school

through their hard work and your generous support.

Did you realize PTO pays $7000 towards field trips every year?

Do you want to pay more for field trips?

Please help with donations for denim & diamonds...

a bottle of wine for $20 would help or more if you can.

Every little bit helps our kids!

Thanks in advance.
