How Do We Use the Dollars Raised?
Your generosity in supporting our 2024 Jungle Art Walk + Auction will enable the school to expand our science, technology, engineering, art, and math (STEAM) materials, which will allow our students to build a strong foundation for their futures in the modern world. The proceeds will also allow the integration of digital and online resources, making students’ introduction to technology an exciting exploration.
