We are giving the students of Peterson Elementary more opportunities.

The Friends of Peterson is a fundraising organization. Its goal is to raise funds to help support the students and staff at Mary Gage Peterson Elementary School.

Our 8th graders are just weeks away from closing their chapter at Peterson. Before they head off to the halls of high school, we want to give them one final chance to bond, explore, and celebrate their hard work outside the classroom.

For many of these students, their end of year 8th grade celebrations are the highlight of their middle school years—but we need your help to get them there. Your donation doesn't just fund a bus or a ticket; it funds a lifelong memory with friends they’ve grown up with.

This year, the class has a $2,500 goal toward the trip. While the students will be active at International Night and again at Spring conferences, this link is available for additional donations. Please encourage friends and families to support this goal.
