WE ARE A CULTURE OF GIVING!
Now Through October 3

It's Week 3 of our Culture of Giving campaign. In only two weeks, we have raised almost 67% of our goal! HUGE Congratulations Mr. Clinard (K), Ms. Boston (1st) & Ms. Wu's (1st) classes for having over 60% class participation! These 3 classes will receive a donut party very soon!

We DONUT know what we would do without your support! With one week left, we urge all of you who haven't donated, to do so this week.  Together, we can achieve a 100% of our goal. 

Please donate at the student level to split your contribution across multiple students and have one checkout.

CHECK OUT THE BENEFITSHERE. Donations across multiple classrooms will be added to determine benefit levels.

PLEASE DONATE HERE

This week’s challenge presents an opportunity for 3 classes to win a PIZZA PARTY! 

  • The class that raises the most this week.
  • The class that increases participation the most this week.
  • The class that raises the most overall.

International Festival Parent Presentations

Parent classroom presentations are a great way to get involved in your child's class ahead of the International Festival!  Your child's teacher will let the class know when there may be an opportunity to do an in-class presentation about your culture and traditions, usually in the 1-2 weeks before the International Festival, and you will schedule directly with them. You must be VIPS certified.
