Big Kahuna Student Fundraiser

Big Kahuna has started!
Big Kahuna is a our student fundraiser. With parent permission, students get a box of snacks worth a total of $60 dollars. Parent can buy the box outright or help their students sell the items. We run the fundraiser for 3 weeks.

This is an optional fundraiser. Students who sell a certain amount are rewarded with a trip to CiCis pizza on a party bus on December 1st!

Parent Lunch Schedule

As you're planning to come on campus for parent lunches, please remember to get to campus early. Every parent has to have their ID scanned. This takes time. Coming early will ensure you get your sticker and make it to the cafe when lunch starts.

While eating with your student, we're asking that you're not watching cartoons on your phones. We have games that you can borrow and play.
