For the 2010 – 2011 school year, the elementary schools received much funding from our corporate sponsors. Washington School received $1,000 for their Dr. Seuss Night; $2,500 for the TheatreWorks play, “Fancy Nancy”; and also money for an outdoor sit-and-read area with benches. Lincoln School received $1,500 for a family outreach program and $550 to fund playground equipment, as a component of their PBIS system. Reagan received $2,000 to fund their PBIS system.

The spring fundraiser of Butter Braids netted a profit of approximately $8,500.

The cookout held at Wyanet Meats (to benefit Shining Star Children’s Advocacy Center) earned $474. The walk held to benefit this agency also went well.
