We are so excited to see the support for our “Dragonfly Dash,” but we are not done yet! We are challenging our families to help get the word out. This week, we ask all families to share your student’s fundraising page. The class with the most growth by Sunday night at midnight will be rewarded with a popsicle party on Monday, October 9th. The teacher of the winning classroom will receive a gift card! If you are already registered, just click the sharing icon to share your student’s fundraising page. Each share will give your student’s class a better chance to win. If you are not registered, it is not too late. Use the link below to register your student and share today. Only donations between today and Sunday at midnight will count toward the classroom totals.
