Fundraisers & Donations

Casino Fundraiser

We hold a Charity Casino Fundraiser every 2 years and each fundraiser provides approximately $65,000-70,000 to our council, which we have used to buy items such as musical instruments, books, computers, iPads and related technology for the school, as well as buses for field trips, robotics kits and other items for options and sports equipment for Phys Ed and inter school athletics.  These items make our children's learning experience much more complete and set them up well for high school.  

Our last casino fundraiser was held in April, 2019 so we are not scheduled to have another one until 2021.

Thank you in advance for your support of our school and your child's education.
