All extracurricular activities, like the Picnic Lunch and Celebration Party/Dance, are supported solely by donations from parents. 

We are hoping for a contribution of $50 for each student but any contribution you can give helps.  
Fundraising will also help us meet our challenging money goals to provide the best events we can.
