The school fundraiser is held every year at Ralston Intermediate School. This fundraiser helps to pay for our school socials, lunch activities, the 8th grade party, assemblies, sports equipment, Pride Store prizes, and more!!! 

Last year we were able to raise $8,100 and we hope we can exceed that goal by making $9,000 this year!

Do you ever reach into your backpack for a quick snack?

8th grader, Amy Nguyen, craves her Dum Dum Pops, and I can not fail to agree. They have a variety of iconic flavors that appeal to millions of people. Another power snack she loves munching on is the famous Dubai Chocolate. She really likes the crunch and satisfying texture.

8th grader, Annie Lee, says that she loves Costco's green grapes. She adores these because they are scrumptious, juicy, and flavorful.

7th grader, Paisley Huynh, seems to really enjoy eating her most beloved power snack, Lay’s Limon Potato Chips. The lime and tangy citrus flavor is delightful.

We have gathered our Ralston bakers to tell us their favorite recipes. Starting with 8th grader Alexis Magana, with her favorite chocolate chip muffin recipe. This is a straightforward recipe that takes about 35 minutes and requires around 10 ingredients. This includes flour, baking soda, vegetable oil, chocolate chips, sugar, salt, milk, baking powder, vegetable oil/melted butter, eggs, and vanilla extract. According to Alexis, her main ingredient is chocolate chips! Alexis said she loves to bake because it is super fun, and loves to give out treats to her friends.

 Another one of our great bakers is Sophia Alcanzarin, also in 8th grade. Her favorite thing to bake is her mom's recipe for brownies.  This easy recipe only requires 50 minutes. The recipe has 9 ingredients, which include a semi-sweet chocolate baking bar, ½ cup of butter (unsalted), 1 cup brown sugar, 1 teaspoon vanilla extract, 2 eggs, ¾ cup + 2 tablespoons all-purpose flour, ¼ teaspoon baking powder, ⅜ teaspoon salt, and ½ cup semi-sweet chocolate chips. Based on Sophia's reasoning, she said the main ingredient is the semi-sweet chocolate baking bar. Baking is something Sophia loves to do for her friends and also enjoys baking on her free time!

7th grader -Aya Afadhiel -, stated that "Moana" 1 and 2 are my favorite movies, because I like the story lines and the catchy music." She adores songs like "How far I'll go", "Can I get a Chee Hoo", and so much more. Her favorite moment in the movie is when Maui and Moana first meet, and Maui tricks Moana into going into a cave for her boat.

7th grader-Helena Ton, stated, "'The Summer I turned Pretty' is my favorite show, because it fits the vibe in the room while watching. I like the fact that there's a team called Conrad or Jeremiah, basically stating who is better or is not. Another thing about the show is that it is dramatic and romantic which is also enjoyable to watch on TV." Helena enjoys what the show is about and how they set the scenes. Helena's favorite moment in the show is when Belly finds out something dark about Jeremiah!
