Give BIG Extension

 GiveBig is extended to May 15th. BIG THANKS to all donors who got us within $3,000 of our goal. All donations made this week will be matched dollar-per-dollar up to $1,500. Please give what you can to help us reach our goal of $10,000.

This money is vital to help the directors start off the next school year strong and to purchase basic supplies and provide educational support for all of our students.
