Last weekend's parking fundraiser was a huge success! Our budget for the full year was to gross $10K for parking fundraisers and ultimately net $8K after expenses. Well hold onto your pants, because as it stands now, we've grossed $22,692 and netted $22,055!!

Many thank yous to parking fundraiser co-chairs Tony Francisco and Raf Cuevas, as well as all the volunteers who made this fundraiser possible!

We are thrilled to announce that Koa Chang is the winner of this year's Donut Dash fundraiser.  Koa raised $1,150!!  As this year's winner, Koa has won a popsicle party for his entire class AND he will be given the honor of picking the color for next year's Donut Dash t-shirt.

In addition to Koa, we'd like to thank everyone who put in the time and effort to fundraise for our school. Together you helped raise $4,890, which is on top of the money brought in from the race itself (nearly $8,000). THANK YOU! WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!

Thank you also to our Donut Dash committee for organizing such a fun event! ❤️
