Why are we doing Raise Craze for our annual school fundraiser? We want to continue to make our school a better place by providing helpful and enriching benefits to our students & families, but that takes money! We’ve chosen Raise Craze to help with these needs because it keeps kindness and inclusivity at the center, while allowing our school to keep 90% PLUS! WooHoo!

Here is the September Menu. Please disregard the item for September 6. Chick-fil-A will be served on that date for First Friday lunch!

SAVE THE DATE! We will start our kindness journey on September 8! 👀Be on the lookout for registration info! What is Raise Craze? Raise Craze is an online platform enabling students to set up secure, custom websites where they request donations via email, text, or social. During the fundraiser, students pay it forward by completing Acts of Kindness for others.
