Hey everyone! I’m excited to announce our fall fundraiser that I’m calling SAVE IT OR SHAVE IT! I’ve been growing my beard for a little over two years, and we’ve had some great times together, but it’s time for me to [possibly] let it go.continue reading

Countless studies have shown that a lack of water at school negatively impacts the education of thecontinue reading

With that in mind, we’re excited to be launching two fundraising campaigns that will make these concerns a thing ofcontinue reading

The first being that she needs a lot of water for the kids, for cleaning, drinking, etc., and collecting the water takes a lot of time and effort. The second reason iscontinue reading

Happy Earth Day!!! We hope that everyone has some time today to get out and spend some time in nature.

For example, we buy materials locally to cut down on the distance they havecontinue reading
