them!

Our 4th annual is Friday, February 19th. Our theme is “Love yourself” and will focus on promoting a healthy body image and

knowing your self-worth.

Please help us reach our goal of raising $3,000 to benefit the National Eating Disorder Association by clicking HERE to donate.

(All families who donate $100 or more will have their name featured in the credits of the lip dub!)

The color for eating disorder awareness is purple, so we’re going to PURPLE OUT by having students dress in purple and wear/bring fun purple accessories (hats, feather

boas, glasses, etc.) as well!

***The PTA will be selling PURPLE items at our School Store on 2/15, 2/16, 2/18 and the morning of 2/19 to help our students prepare for this exciting event!!!
