It's always a good time when they can teach our students about fire safety along with some fun conversations, thank you guys for coming to Captain Strong.
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 :)

Families must reapply for meal benefits each year to continue receiving meals at a reduced rate and/or to waive or reduce certain fees (this also requires a consent to share form). Only one application is required for each family, and the information is always kept confidential.
How to reapply:
Complete the application in Skyward.
Download an application.
Pick up an application at your child’s school.

Please enjoy these photos below of a few items that were salvaged/ cleaned up on display near the main office.
