We're almost HALFWAY to meeting our goal!

The Salamander Stride supports many of the things that make our school special: World Culture Day, GeoBowl, Bookfairs, STEM activities, arts; grants, celebrations, and support to our teachers and staff...the list goes on. Please donate if you're able.  


How can I make a pledge?  

It’s easy to set up a pledge page or make a donation through the PTA website, just look for a link under FORMS to set up your child's page (and remember to update their grade/join the PTA while you are there). Fundraising Page Instructions
