PTO Annual Walkathon
The kids, staff, and PTO had so much fun at the annual Walk-a-Thon on 11/5/21. There was dancing with a DJ, archery, a foam pit, and a gaga ball pit for those who donated $20 or more. Thanks so much to all who donated & helped make this year's event happen!! The school raised over $17,000 at this year's Walk-a-Thon. The 6th grade raised the most money so their administrator, Ms. Brown, gets a pie to the face this time!
