🦁 Roar & Raise 2025 – A Record Season of Giving and Firsts!
What an incredible fall for our Lions! Together, our families, teachers, and community partners raised over $23,000 through our Roar & Raise Fundraiser, Snack Shack, and the Fall Festival Under the Lights.
This year, our team didn’t just raise funds — we built connections, creativity, and community.

🎟️ Introduced daily online ticketing for Snack Shack and events — simple, cash-free, and stress-free!
🍿 Added an after-school Snack Shack that ran for two weeks and became a student favorite.
🏷️ Expanded classroom-level goals and recognitions to celebrate teamwork.
🎨 Hosted our first-ever cultural and community market-style Fall Festival — featuring henna art, face painting, food, and fun for all ages.
🛍️ Grew our Silent Auction into a community showcase with generous donations from local businesses.
