Committees/Events
Cougar Cat Run (September)
The Cougar Cat Run puts the "fun" in fundraising. Students are challenged to run or walk for fifteen minutes around the schoolyard, while parents and supporters cheer them on. In 2015, we raised more than $20,000 thanks to generous corporate sponsors, parents, relatives, and other supporters!
Field Day BINGO (May)
This is a student event held during the school day. Students jump, throw and run their way through stations earning marks for their BINGO card. When a student gets a BINGO they receive a prize (usually a lollipop, juice drink or freeze pop). Volunteers may help with paperwork and/or set up and man stations.
Scholastic Book Fair (October)
This is both a fundraiser and a great way to keep our kids reading. Volunteers help with setting up books, assisting with book selection, and collecting payments during the book fair.
