Pandemic Essentials Initiative

Pandemic Essentials Initiative

This school year will be unique in many ways. In preparing to keep our community as safe as possible during in person learning, we are upgrading our building and classrooms with everything from a new ventilation system to year-long supplies of antibacterial soap and box fans to enhance classroom ventilation.

​We are inviting our community to collaborate in this effort by making a donation to the Pandemic Essentials Initiative. If you would like to participate, take a look at our wish list of items. You can then donate an  amount equivalent to the cost of the item(s) you wish to "purchase" for the school. Gifts of any size are deeply appreciated!



Thanks to you, we have raised $35,025 for pandemic essentials!
