KONA ICE TRUCK!!! The Kona Ice truck was such a huge success that we are doing it again! Please come and support the seniors raising money for the first ever Senior's gift to the school. The Class of 2024 is raising money to purchase a trophy case and hopefully we can raise enough to get a snow cone machine for concessions.
The Kona Ice truck will be parked between the lower school and the high school on April 17th from 11:15 AM to 1 PM.
Thanks for helping us give back to a school that has given us so much.
