THE DRAGON IS HUNGRY!! ANNUAL FUND GIVING |
Thank you to everyone who has donated to our Annual Fund campaign for the
school. If you haven't contributed yet, no worries. This week is a great
time to do just that!
Here are just some of the things that would not be possible without your donations--a full-time PE teacher, literacy specialists, social worker, teacher classroom stipends, community events, field trips and much, much more.
Online giving is easy and secure - click here to use PayPal or a credit card. Also, consider choosing a monthly donation to allow your gift to have a bigger impact over time.
Thank you in advance for your support. It makes a real difference for our children and our greater school community.
