We hear the kids moan and groan as they run, but it is all smiles
when they complete their laps and lap up otter pops in celebration!
The money raised supports all-school needs, such as: Classroom Supplies,
Field Trips, Classroom Enhancements, and Outdoor Camp, and PTA programs
such as: Safety Patrol, Yearbook, Watch Dogs and our Emergency Shed.

of volunteer opportunities an especially fun event for dads to join
in!

staff and parents. This is a PTA Committee which welcomes volunteer
time, amateur photos, and fun ideas for the publication.
