					<description><![CDATA[Our True Blue Annual Fund participation is going strong, and we’ve already reached 84% participation schoolwide! We’re excited to see the momentum building across all three buildings. Elementary is leading the way at 90%, followed by Middle School at 85% and High School at 76%. Our Faculty & Staff are also setting an amazing example at 100% participation! We’re making fantastic progress, but our goal is still to achieve 100% participation campus wide, and we need everyone to join in! Let’s keep the momentum going and go "All In" for True Blue!
This week we are celebrating reaching 60% participation with exciting activities for our students. Elementary students will enjoy wearing their favorite slippers and a special treat from the Gelu Italian Ice Truck on Tuesday, October 27. Middle and High School students will enjoy a Hacky Sack Demonstration by a Footbag Hall of Fame player, along with Honey Buns and Hot Cheetos, on Friday, October 30! Thank you for helping us build momentum! Let’s keep the excitement going, reach 100% participation, and Go All In for True Blue!]]></description>
