The 2nd Annual Octoberfest was a success! Even though we sold only 183 tickets out of the 350 tickets available for sale we still made a profit of about $3500!! Thank you for supporting your school and the efforts of the School Advisory Committee and the Family School Association.

Though the Octoberfest was a profitable fundraiser, it didn't meet the needs of this years fundraising budget. Another fundraiser may be added to help increase the fund raising budget this year. Look for information in the Newsletter soon As always thanks for your support of our wonderful school.
