Junior Trip Fundraising Starts Early
The Class of 2016 is planning ahead for their Junior Trip to Washington! They're so excited about the chance to connect what they'll be learning in American History and American Literature to what they'll be able to see in Washington, DC, next Spring. They don't want anyone in their class to have to miss out, so they're hoping this fundraiser will help alleviate some of the cost of the trip. We hope you'll support them in this endeavor! Plus, you end up with awesome school-spirited socks to wear to school, games, everywhere! There are three designs and three sizes to choose from, so everyone from Kindergarten up will be able to find what they want! All administrators have approved the socks to be worn with regular school uniforms. Click here to pre-order now! (NOTE: Colors are black on green, green on white, and gold on green respectively.)
