Boosterthon Updates - We Met Our Goal!!!

Dear Families,

Our Boosterthon fundraiser was a huge success! We met our goal of $30,000. We can’t thank you enough for your support. We couldn’t have done it without you & our wonderful sponsors! Also, thank you to all the parents who volunteered to help out at our Fun Run today. It was so nice seeing many of you cheering on our students. What a great way to end our fundraiser! The students had an amazing time! 

If you already registered your child(ren) on the Boosterthon website, you will receive a day pass to Great Wolf Lodge. It will be emailed to the email address you used to register. If you have not registered yet, that is no problem at all! You can still register at myboosterthon.com. 

**Congratulations to Ms. Do Medina’s class for receiving the most donations! Since they are the top class, they will have the opportunity to slime the principal. We hope you’re ready, Principal Han!
