This year’s money raised will go toward building our school-based technology infrastructure, bringing our systems up to date and equipment for students and programs focused on STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). This will be a multi-year campaign and we are very excited to kick it off with the matching donor. Donation forms were included with your invitation, or feel free to contact the school office for another copy.
