PTA Fun Run update:
This past Tuesday we were able to hold our Fun Run Event for the students and they had such a Blast!
Thank you to all families that were able to donate to this event. Your donations help fund events that the PTA puts on throughout the year like a Holiday Party, Family movie nights & more.

Our goal this year was to raise $15,000 and we currently are at $14,200! So so close!! The donation window is open for a couple more days for any last minute donations.
Thank You Captain Families, the students really do have so much fun with this event :)

In May we were able to uncover a Time Capsule that was buried by Captain Strong students in the year 2000!
It was a fun time to connect with the Teacher in charge at the time Carla Nalley as well as a few students who participated that are all grown up :)
Please enjoy these photos below of a few items that were salvaged/ cleaned up on display near the main office.
