Dear Parents, About the CRUSHING IT fundraiser, Beta Club has decided to continue it for the rest of the school year. At any point you feel like a student, teacher, or staff members is CRUSHING IT by doing a good job send them a Crush soda and candy bar. The cost for the both of them together is $3.00. You can get an order form in Elementary or High School office. You can email me at dduty@cusd17.com or call 618-893-4031 if you have any questions. Thank You, Ms. Duty
