Sip. Savor. Support. 2022
Wow! The return of Sip. Savor. Support. – our school’s primary fundraising event – on May 13 was even better than we imagined. We were so happy to be back and see you all outside of school! A HUGE thank you to all of the parents that helped raise money by sponsoring, helping with donations, helping the night of the event, selling raffle tickets, and letting family and friends know about the event.
Here is the information that everyone has been waiting for: preliminary amount raised = $57,690! Our goal was $50,000! The money raised will directly benefit Blue Lake and Little Blue Preschools, including to help with expansion of Little Blue Preschool and to construct our brand new school in Willits!
