THANK YOU!

$2,470 Raised for Future Student Adventures

A heartfelt thank-you to everyone who participated in our Winterfest pre-auction raffle! Whether you sold tickets, purchased them, or encouraged others to support, your efforts have made a lasting impact.

Thanks to your incredible support, we raised $2,470 to fund future enriching and educational field trips for our students. Programs like the Appledore IV BaySail Science under Sail STEM experience, which our students enjoyed in the past, show the transformative power of hands-on learning. With these funds, we’ll be able to continue offering memorable opportunities that inspire curiosity and growth.

Your dedication to our school community ensures that every student has the chance to explore, learn, and thrive.
