HUNDRED X
Our Spring Fundraiser Hundred X started February 16 and ends tomorrow, March 17. We met our initial goal of $20,000 and our overall First Place Winner was First Grade! They earned the spot as Top Class, so the other 8 classes will continue to vie for the other top 2 spots. The Top 3 classes will win a free dress pass, and a pizza and ice cream party! We will also give prizes to the Top 3 Families who earned the most money for our school. Tomorrow is the last day to reach our new goal of $30,000! We are so close... Thank you for all your support to raise money for a digital marquee on 163rd St.!
