Fundraising Updates

Family Photos

We had a total of 31 families that ordered photos from the portrait sitting in the fall. Many families have reported how thrilled they are at the quality of photos and how easygoing Bruce was to work with. We essentially doubled our fundraising earnings from the previous year so the PAC is very pleased with the event. We hope to offer this photography shoot again next fall.

Pies & Cookies Fundraising

Thanks to everyone who purchased pies, cookies etc. this year, thanks to your support we raised over $1,200!!

Labeling your kids clothes, water bottles and lunch containers help to get these lost items back to their owners. If you don’t have your own labels, perhaps consider ordering some from Mabel’s Labels.
