Senior Events Dues - currently 35% family support

We have had only 35% of the class families participate in the Senior Events dues. We currently have fundraised enough to cover the tailgate, 3 snack days this fall, breakfast in December, Yard Signs and silver envelopes. 

If you have NOT contributed, please do so we can maintain all our spring events we have planned: 2 snack days, senior luncheon, senior games and treat at graduation practice! 

Help us make these fun events a reality for the Class of 2027! Your contribution ensures they can continue as planned. 

**events are subject to change/cancellation based on funding support - fundraising end date is October 1.
