Together, we made big dreams possible for our students and school.

Now it’s time for one final rodeo roundup! Join us at Project 9 on Monday, June 1st, at 5:00 pm for our Auction Finale Wrap-Up. We’ll celebrate this year’s success, share a few highlights from the event, and take a peek at what’s ahead for next year’s auction.

As the end of the school year gets closer, need to clear the closet of gently used uniforms?

Summer has a way of flying by. What feels early in June can quickly become mid-July. And then the back-to-school rush begins. If you have not ordered your child’s 1st Day School Supplies yet, now is a great time to take care of it and avoid last-minute scrambling.
