The Hollister School District has loaned us the remaining money to be able to finish out this school year. Please take a moment and thank our Superintendent Gary McIntire when you see him!

The district gave us this good faith loan because they support our efforts and want to assure continuity in the program.

We still need to pay them back! That means we still need you help. Come and have breakfast every other Saturday at R.O. Hardin, support the play-a-thon or help out however you choose. We also need to get started raising funds for next year too!

Thanks for your support!
