Day of Service Fundraiser Update:

Our sponsors got us off to a great start of $3,750!

What is Day of Service?

  • Similar to a Walk-a-Thon or Fun Run, students raise money through donations, and then, instead of running or walking, they complete service projects to support the Fox Lake community on Wednesday, April 22nd.
  • Our Goal: $25,000
  • Anything raised above $25,000 will go into a dedicated account to help fund a future accessible playground at Lotus!
  • Donations can be made in cash or check (payable to Fox Lake School District 114 PTA) or can be made online here.
