Kindness in Progress - Welcome to our Raise Craze Fundraiser!
This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling!

Dates: September 1 - September 29
Our Goal: $10,000
School-Wide Service Projects: We're going to be doing good deeds in our community by participating in the Bayfront Cleanup at Ryder Park, Saturday, September 16th. Look for more information on how to sign up at Back to School Night.
Every student can participate in Raise Craze by completing Acts of Kindness (AOK) so we’re aiming for 100% participation.
Why are we doing Raise Craze for our annual school fundraiser? We want to continue to make our school a better place by providing helpful and enriching benefits to our students & families, but that takes money! We’ve chosen Raise Craze to help with these needs because it keeps kindness and inclusivity at the center, while allowing our school to keep 90% PLUS! Woo Hoo!
