Don't miss it. More details will be coming soon, but save the date for Saturday 4/25 at 6pm-ish.

This is our PTO’s most important annual fundraiser. We've surpassed our initial goal of $10,000, but we still have much further to go. In 2020, we could not afford our kindergarten reading specialist's salary due to lack of PTO funds and we did not meet our Fair Share Annual Campaign goal. These critical funds provide P.E., art, music, field trips, library programs, cover basic school supplies for all Orion/MI students and teachers, and enable funding for un-budgeted classroom items.

We understand this is a difficult and uncertain time. Bid on what you can, make a cash donation, or simply share the auction page www.auctria.com/auction/starshiporion with others who may be able to help.
