Fundraising Opportunities  

Every year we organize photoshoots to allow our students to express their creative ambitions! We in turn use the photos to create amazing Calendars for the next year. We have had photoshoot ideas from Vintage Victorian Era to Marry Poppins! The ideas and joy this event creates are endless. If you would like to purchase a Calendar you may through this website or if you would like to donate clothes and/or volunteer contact us or stop by 1616 North Vine St. Magnolia, AR. 

We also within the last year have partnered with Dominos to be a part of the Slice The Price fundraiser. You may also stop by our location to purchase a Slice the Price card ($10) which gives you 1 free large pizza per every large pizza you buy.
