The Park Fund!

Parents, we want to remind you that June 30 is the last day to make a gift to The Park Fund 25-26. Making your gift today supports the extraordinary education we provide every student, every day. We are striving for 500 parent gifts to The Park Fund and have received 360 donations. We are almost there, but we still need your help! We hope you will join us today and over the next few weeks with a gift that is meaningful to you. Thank you to those who have already supported The Park Fund this year.
