During their annual fundraising competitions, our high school students raised a combined $123,077.95 for local organizations! Thank you, students, for all your hard work and effort to invest back into our community.



Congratulations Rocket staff and students - an amazing effort this year for JM Gives. Have a wonderful winter break, we will see you in 2026!
