Please see the information for the PAWS Boo Grams Fundraiser.

This year, as part of our PAWS Fall fundraiser, we will be doing school wide "boo grams".

Each bag will feature 5 Halloween themed trinkets (pens, notebooks, bouncy balls, etc). There will be a table set up at school for kids to purchase to send to each other October 19-October 23.

In addition, if you would like to donate funds to help cover the cost for kids that do not receive a bag, at the end of the fundraising event, we will take inventory of who did not receive a bag and purchase a bag for those kids with this fund.

You may purchase boo grams for your child or donate by using this link.

On Friday, our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders gathered for a huge moment of anticipation to find out which team took home the crown for the first quarter: Red, Blue, Green, or Yellow!

After an incredibly close race, THE GREEN TEAM officially came out on top! 🏆💚

Led by our social studies teachers across all three grades, the Green Team earned their win by consistently going above and beyond—showing extra kindness, bringing the energy for spirit events, working hard on their grades, and showing awesome growth.

To celebrate their hard work, the Green Team was awarded the trophy (and ultimate bragging rights for Q2!) along with a special treat from our Hydration Station! 🥤✨

Join us in giving a massive CONGRATULATIONS to these fantastic kids in the comments below! 👏🎉
