Kiss the Pig

 WHO WILL KISS THE PIG?
Our Fall Festival fundraiser is in full swing, and the stakes are hilariously high! Each participating staff member is competing to raise the most money — and the "winner" gets to smooch PeeWee the pig on stage at the fall festival!

Your donation helps the PTA to provide a free and memorable Fall Festival each year and gets your favorite teacher one step closer to a piggy peck!

Donate online at https://nickajackpta.mycheddarup.com through Oct. 16 at midnight! The kids will have the opportunity to vote with coins in the front lobby from Oct. 14-17, with theirs being the final vote Friday morning!
