Mail-a-thon

Mail-a-thon is a major fund-raising event that replaces the old Phone-a-thon.  Last year was the successful transition to raise much needed funds from our school community.  We would like to thank all of the donors who contributed at the walk through registration at the High School and Jr. High.  This is one of our most important events of the year.
