Our most recent dividend (which was monies collected from July-September) was just received in the amount of $2,415.96 from 127 households. While this number increased at the start of the school year, it is still only about half of the number of families at SVdP. If you haven’t already, please follow these instructions to tie yours, and other family members’, King Soopers account to SVdP so the school can benefit from this easy fundraiser! Every little bit adds up! Click here for instructions on how to get signed up for our school.
