We’re excited to launch this school year with a focus on kindness and community! Our PTA is introducing a new email-based fundraiser called Raise Craze, which invites families, friends, and neighbors to support our school through donations while students spread kindness throughout our community.
How PTA Funds Make a Difference
Donations raised through Raise Craze directly support programs, events, and resources that enrich our school family. Some of the items funded include:
Classroom and movie licensing software
The completely FREE-to-families Otterly Spooktacular event and Winter Movie Night
Support for school clubs like robotics, Spanish, and chorus
Plans for much-needed shade structures in the learning garden
Continuing education opportunities for our teachers
Dates to Remember
September 30 – Festivities begin with a 4th & 5th grade after-school poster party! Students will help create posters to spread the word about kindness and Raise Craze. [Sign up here to let us know your child will attend: Raise Craze Poster Party SignUpGenius Link]

October 24 – Our first Lodge Day of the year! Students will participate in lodge-based community service projects to give back to Goochland County. (Details on projects will be shared soon!)
