What an unforgettable day at our Relay for Life fundraiser!
Our incredible teachers stepped up (and took pies to the face! ) to help raise money for an amazing cause. The laughter, the teamwork, and the overwhelming support from our school community made this event a huge success!
Every dollar raised brings us one step closer to making a difference in the fight against cancer. We are so proud of our students, staff, and families for coming together and showing what it truly means to give back.
Who knew getting pied could feel so rewarding?!
