We organize fundraisers.  We run a fall fundraiser and a spring fundraiser each year and will host additional fundraisers as necessary to meet the needs of our school.  An opportunity to make monetary donations directly to the Foundation or specific projects is also available.  Donations of any amount are greatly appreciated and all donations are tax deductible.
