2017-18 Apple Campaign
We are approaching the end of our Apple Campaign promotion period. On November 10th we will tally the votes to see which grade had the MOST PARTICIPATION. The grade with the most number of donations will win a popcorn party. Right now our school is averaging a low 18% overall contribution rate, and we haven't met our $70,000 goal. Please consider a donation of any amount, and help your child's grade win a popcorn party for being an Apple All-Star!
Donate in the office with a check made out to UPark PTA or online HERE.
