Deep Run Dash:  Donations and Pledges Due Now

The Deep Run Dash was held yesterday.  All the students at Deep Run ran the Dash and received water bottles for their participation.  This was the PTA's primary fundraiser for the year.  It is now time for families and friends to make their donations.  Click on the links below for more information on how to donate.  The students are hoping to win the opportunity to see their teachers in a scooter race, "pie" Mrs. Quirk, or win a free seating in the cafeteria.  All students who get donations will receive a Golden Bear Buck (worth 10 bear bucks).  Thank you for your support.
