The Gift of Stories
Sharing Good Cheer, Joy, and Generosity

The 78th annual Christmas Fund Drive invites supporters and students to come together to reach our goal of $150,000 to strengthen our learning community!

This drive supports our Flames Fund, helping us achieve our mission through:

  • student enrichment
  • educator excellence
  • campus and facilities
  • core values

Student-led tradition: If you receive an invitation from a student to support their personal goal, thank you for responding warmly. Your encouragement inspires generosity, service, and leadership!

It would be fun to help the people who support this school, and I would help write postcards and be a part of the chapel.

I like bringing Christmas Fund Drive to light, sharing inspirational stories that have helped to grow faith or have taught lessons. Christmas means a lot to me as a time to give back to others and to be cheerful and spread love.
