We are almost halfway to reaching our fundraising goal! Thank you to all who have donated already! We have had some fun prizes along the way. Third graders earned music in the lunchroom, K04 won freezies, and we have more challenges coming up! Since we are halfway to our goal, students may wear pajamas and comfy clothes on Friday to school.

Remember, by just registering, you are eligible for the drawing to win a night stay at the Great Wolf Lodge in Minneapolis and every share earns you another entry into the drawing. If we reach our fundraising goal, your family also earns 60 minutes of game play at Dave and Busters! The class in the lead at the end of the fundraising campaign will send their teacher into the Great Inflatable Food Scramble and there are fun prizes for the top earning students. Register and donate today at MyBooster.com
