🤠 THANK Y'ALL for Making Our

Western Hoedown Auction a

$26k Success! 🤠

We are thrilled to share that our 32nd Annual Benefit Auction – Western Hoedown was a tremendous success! Thanks to your generosity and support, we raised over $26,000 through an evening filled with delicious food, exciting silent and live bidding, and lively entertainment.


🎉 Celebrating Our Students

This year’s event wasn’t just about fundraising—it was also an opportunity to showcase the incredible work our students have been doing since the start of the school year. From academic highlights to enrichment activities, we were proud to shine a spotlight on their growth and creativity.


đź’Ş Special Purpose Spotlight: P.E. & Enrichment Upgrades

Our 2025 Special Purpose is focused on updating and refreshing our P.E. equipment and daily enrichment activity supplies. These resources are essential in supporting our mission to develop the whole child—academically, intellectually, socially, emotionally, and physically.


🎤 Student Voice Matters

To guide our wishlist and special purpose, we asked our students what new equipment and activities they’d love to see. Their responses were fun, thoughtful, and inspiring—and you can watch their interviews and program overview below!
