We did it! Our Hound Hustle Fun Run and fundraiser was a HUGE success! It was a great day on the track for all of our Hounds! Special shout out to our friends from Benicia Police Department for getting in on the fun and running a few laps with us!

We officially met our fundraising goal of $60,000! Way to go, Hounds! We are so grateful for the support of all of our Henderson families. We could not have reached our goal without you.

And guess what? We have one more bonus week to earn even MORE money for our school. Mybooster.com will remain open until October 16. If you’d like to keep the momentum going, you can:
1) Share your student’s page with one more person
2) Follow up with anyone who may have missed your message
Every additional donation makes an even bigger impact.

Thank you for everything you've done to support our students and our school. We couldn't have done it without you! 🎉
