“Another Great Week” Newsletter from Principal Ferguson
Dear Lancer Families,
Today's Lancer Dash was fantastic!! We are thrilled to announce that, thanks to your incredible support for the Lancer Dash, we surpassed our goal of $130,000 by raising over $145,000! These funds will go directly toward building an amazing new playground for our students, creating a wonderful space for fun and learning. Thank you for your generosity and dedication to our school community. Together, we’re making a positive impact on our students’ lives!
Thank you to all the moms and dads, grandmas and grandpas who joined in the running and did a few laps with our students! And a very special thank you to our SMPO and Lancer Dash chairs for their incredible efforts in making this event such a success. In the coming weeks, final prizes will be awarded. Great job everyone!
