Orange Ruler Fundraiser Our big spring Fundraiser, the Orange Ruler Fun Run, is almost here! This program will last for approximately two weeks beginning with our kick-off assembly on April 15th. The Orange Ruler team has put together a fun-filled experience for our children and school that focuses on teamwork, staying active and believing in yourself. This important program will help us raise needed funds that will be used for Playworks, teacher grants, movie nights, yearbooks, Kinder connect, library support, and much more. ** Please be on the lookout for the Orange Ruler parent letter and donation envelope which will be coming home with your child on the day of kick-off. We look forward to working together with you to help make this one of the most successful fundraisers our school has ever had!
