Fund Student Activities, Field Trips and More:

  • We ask each family to contribute to the Patriot’s Pledge annually—this is a voluntary, but necessary, activity fee which covers field trips and other activities for the year. Patriot’s Pledge helps us limit our fundraisers to Trivia Night and Fun Run instead of asking families to sell items door-to-door.
