Hope International University Field Trip

On November 5th we will be going on a field trip to Hope International University in Fullerton with the 7th and 8th graders. This is the University where Mr. Williams' wife works and Pastor Todd attended. We realize this trip will closely follow the NASA field trip, but it will be the last field trip before Christmas break. Here is the information.

Harvest Carnival & Fundraising

(Costumes: Nothing scary/bloody and no real or fake weapons allowed).

Parents, we will need volunteers to help with our 8th grade booth for 1/2 hour time slots.

Want to raise money for our end of the year trip? Bring a raffle prize or gift card for our Harvest Carnival (new, at least a $10 value) and part of the money earned from the raffle will go towards your account. Students, we have a letter you can hand out to business owners asking them to donate a prize for you, or you can purchase it on your own. You can also earn money by selling raffle tickets in advance starting October 12th.
