THANK YOU for your overwhelming support and generosity during our Spring Fundraiser, the Orange Ruler Fun Run! The fundraiser was a tremendous success and we surpassed our goal of $50,000 and raised over $86,000, setting a new record for the Orange Ruler Fun Run!!! 

Here are some important notes:

  • All classes will get to participate in the Fun Run on May 18th. Snacks will be provided during the Fun Run. However, students are welcome to bring their own snack. There will be a sign up for parent volunteers to help with the Fun Run. More communication to be sent out next week!  
  • The entire school will get to enjoy a Kona Shaved Ice Party at the Spring Fling event on Monday, June 18th!

  • Remember to turn-in your collection envelopes. Please turn in all collected cash and checks to your teacher or to the front office as soon as possible. Make sure to include your child's name and teacher's name on the envelope.
