Happy Monday!

It's a great week to have a great week! In just over a month the school year will conclude, we will have celebrated graduates and the plans for the 24-25SY will be well underway. In the meantime, be sure to check in on your child's progress via PowerSchool as we round out the school year better than we started!

Applications for next year’s 2024-2025 CURE Crew Teen Council will be open to students starting April 15th – April 30th this year using this link - https://curechildhoodcancer.org/cure-crew/. The application is open to rising Junior & Senior students, and current CURE Crew members do need to re-apply.

The purpose of CURE Crew is to offer high school juniors and seniors the opportunity to support CURE through fundraising, volunteering, advocacy, and awareness of pediatric cancer with the leadership and guidance of CURE’s staff. Students will benefit by earning community service hours by engaging in structured fundraising and service opportunities that will provide them with meaningful life skills and compassion for an underserved population. At the same time, CURE will benefit by having students in the community sharing CURE’s mission and vision.
