Thornebrooke PTO Post November 2017
Thank you for making the Barracuda Fun Run Fundraiser a success! Over $42,000 has been raised to help support technology, classroom needs, specials areas, and the creation of a shade structure fund for future projects!
Any outstanding pledged donations can be paid online at FunRun.com or by sending in Cash/Check (made payable to Thornebrooke PTO) in an envelope marked Fun Run. The goal is to have 100% collected by our first due date, Thursday, November 2nd.
Proud to be a Barracuda!
