Coming Up!
Castle Quest Aqua Run: Our Castle Quest Aqua Run fundraiser kicks off soon! Our goal is to raise $88,000. These funds will partially subsidize the difference between education cost and tuition income. The difference is $2,338 per student.
As a family, you will work together asking friends and family to donate on your student’s Donation Page at MyBooster.com. We’re excited for this fundraising experience because it offers 3 important things to our school community:
· User-friendly fundraising platform
· Character enrichment program
· Fitness-focused event that includes ALL our students regardless of financial participation
SAVE THESE DATES:
Sign up online at MyBooster.com – 8/27/24
