May Days For Shade
May Days For Shade!!!
Help support our school wide Student Council Fundraiser! All money raised will go towards the
purchase of an additional covered walkway! An additional covered walkway is a BIG need for our
students to ensure that while waiting on their rides each afternoon, they have shade on sunny days,
as well as staying dry on rainy days! The following events will help go towards this project. We hope
you will mark your calendars and plan to participate!!!
CLASS BUYOUT DAYS!!!
To buyout the class must collectively contribute $25 or more.
Students can contribute individually no more than $5 per subject.
If the class collects $25 or more, then the entire class of students will be able to
have a free period and use their device during this time.
