What are we raising funds for?


Through our previous fundraising efforts, we have been able to secure the

necessary funds to carry on PTA programming for this year, as well as

contribute to the new Virginia Highlands Elementary School. As such,

the proceeds of this year's Casino Night will go toward the Outdoor

Learning Space and Garden and the Library and Media Center at the

E. Rock Springs campus.


How can I help?


We cannot do this without the parent volunteers. There are roles

available for setup before the event, clean up after, and 1-hour shifts at

the prize table throughout the evening. Please sign up HERE. Reach

out to Halley Blythe with any questions on volunteering.


Where can I get ALL the details?


All of these details and more can be found on the MES Casino Night webpage, which can be found HERE.


We hope to see all of you at Casino Night!
