PTA March Madness Fundraiser

Submitted by mike.sorensen on
  • It is time for the annual PTA March Madness Fundraiser. We are asking each parent to donate $10.00 per student or any amount you are willing. This is our only fundraiser and we have chosen this way to eliminate time consuming, door-to-door sales. We hope you see the benefit in this simplified version of a fundraiser. This year we have added a little basketball fun into the week by having some basketball challenges for the students to try their hand at.
