Fundraising Update!

We're half-way through the year, and just about half-way to our fundraising goals!

Thanks to families and friends for all you've contributed - volunteering, baking cupcakes, selling magazines, Dance-a-Thon-ing, and making direct donations.

Our goal is to raise $16 000, which will enable us to fund 60-70 devices including: desktop computers for our classrooms and library lab, and mobile computer labs of laptops which can move from class to class.

Some of the devices have already been purchased! Have a look at some of our McMurrich students in action, using the new McMurrich tablets for learning about nutrition and health:
