Thank you to all of our fundraisers, especially to those families who raised the highest amounts:

It's great that there was so much raised for the team!

Dear Orca Parents,

 

Last Friday (October 4th) our swim team held our annual fundraiser FUNnathon. The event was a big success with many participants who swam hard and had a lot of fun. 

Just to remind you,  swimmers have only a few weeks to obtain pledges from their sponsors. If you couldn't participate in the fundraiser, we will accept your contributions.
 
All money is due by Friday, November 18th.

Thank you so much to our parent volunteers who counted laps, donated food and drinks and supervised snack table. Without you we couldn't done it.
THANKS!
Orcas Coaches
