Guardian Angels Fundraiser

Thanks to all who have donated to the Guardian Angels Fundraiser- the brainchild of our dear Mr. Reed. He wanted to make sure all students who needed The Morning Star Difference had the opportunity to attend our school. So far this year we have raised $7000+ for tuition assistance and extended day scholarships.
