If you would like to support students, please complete the online donation form or contribute through payroll deduction.
Thank you to our Chancellor, Mitch Frazer who launched the Chancellor's Challenge, and to all of those who participated in the Challenge by running or walking 7.2 km a day. We look forward to next year’s Challenge!
Mark your calendars for next year’s Pi Day of Giving on Monday, March 14, 2022.
