D114 Day of Service--PRINCIPAL CHALLENGE!!!
Thank you to everyone who pledged money to support this year's Day of Service fundraiser! We managed to raise nearly $16,000!
However, we missed our goal by about $4,000, so Mr. Peters and Mr. Sefcik have agreed to put on a 10-Day Principal's Challenge to see if we can meet or exceed our goal!!
Starting today through Friday, May 9th (10 school days), we'll be asking for additional donations. These can be sent to school in cash or check or donations
can be made online here.
