· We have 22% of students registered online and have already raised $4,230.  If you registered, it is fun to log in and watch the incredible support for our school. 
· We have received donations from supporters in 52 cities and 16 states.
· This is our primary fundraiser and the Parent Club strives to use all money raised during the same school year.  This means that the money raised by your children directly benefits your children.
