• Kroger Cares Fundraiser - Please participate in our Kroger Cares fundraiser to help us get a new computer lab!  Here's how it works: Once you get your card, you take it to the Customer Service Desk at your local Kroger and load it like a gift card using cash, credit card, or debit card. Then, when you use your Kroger Cares Card to make purchases at Kroger for gas, prescriptions or groceries, Kroger will donate 5% back to our school. You can load as little as $5 onto a card. Contact Barb Deal barbdeal@nc.rr.com to get yours. Thanks Barb!
