Bloom where you are planted!
This year, we're using an awesome web based fundraising system that makes it much easier for you to request pledges from your family and friends, and for them to make secure credit card donations online. It's fun, it's easy, and people who use it typically raise twice as much as those who don't!
Remember, our Bloom where you are planted! is April 17, so please register now to help our school raise as much as we can for STEAM Project Materials, Campus Improvements, Staff Appreciation Gifts, and other PTA Programs.
