Sign Up for our Otter Fun Run!
It’s time to rally together for our Otter Fun Run fundraiser! Our goal is to raise $17,000 for T-shirts, field trips, school events, and teacher appreciation, which will enhance our school’s resources and provide our students with an even better educational experience.
Plus, Great Wolf Lodge is joining in the fun! When our goal reaches our goal, every student earns a Great Wolf Lodge waterpark day pass. Make sure your family is registered on MyBooster.com so your student can receive this reward, then share your student’s donation page with friends and family to get there!
Here’s how you can help:
1️⃣ Sign up at MyBooster.com
2️⃣ Share your student’s donation page with friends and family
3️⃣ Donate if you’re able
Every sign-up, share, and donation helps students earn points for prizes in the Reward Store. Visit MyBooster.com to see all the prizes you can choose from!
Thank you for our support!

Dear families,

To locate your child's photos, you'll need their Student ID or Portrait ID and Access Code. If you don't have this information, you can:
- Check your inbox for an email from Lifetouch that may contain your access credentials and a direct link to your child's images.
- Wait for your proof sheet to arrive, which will include your Portrait ID and Access Code.
