We are also happy to share that we will be holding a floral fundraiser. We know many families enjoy purchasing flowers for their graduates, so we have partnered with Mica Mine Floral to offer small bouquets for $15 each. Each bouquet will include one daisy, one carnation, alstroemeria, and filler greens, beautifully wrapped as a bouquet. Orders and payments are due by Friday, June 5. Please reach out to Mrs. Ball with any questions.

To place an order, please fill out the Google Form and indicate how many bouquets you would like. Interested in a larger bouquet? Simply order two or more bouquets and note in the form that you would like them combined into one larger arrangement.
