Thank you for supporting our spring fundraising efforts and Dine to Donate events! We will have two more opportunities to support the PTO this school year in April at Big Head Pizza.

One large special project we are currently working toward is funding the building of a second shelter house and equipping it as an outdoor STEM Lab.
