• Will You Help Us Build a Snowman? Part Ii

  Funded May 16, 2024

  Thank you so much for your generous support! Thanks to you, our production of Frozen was a huge success! Your donations enabled our brilliantly talented and creative group of K-5th grade actors, singers, dancers, artists, and builders put on an incredible show! The kids loved wearing their costumes, the set looked wonderful, and they sang, danced, and acted their big hearts out!

  Your kindness and support means so much to us. Many of the students in the cast English Language Learners or students with disabilities- it was so wonderful to witness them finding their voices and having the chance to shine on stage! What a gift!”

• STEM Students Are Respectful, Responsible, Safe, and Kind!

  Funded Oct 11, 2023

  Thank you so much for your generous support! Thanks to you, we were able to set up a school store to teach our kids financial literacy and support our Positive Behavior Intervention Supports plan. Our students earn STEM Solvers for being respectful, responsible, safe, and kind- our school store encourages and rewards these positive behaviors, making our school community even stronger! Every Friday, students who have earned ten or more STEM Solvers get to visit the school store. These pictures show students visiting the store last Friday. This is such great positive reinforcement- all thanks to you!”
