We are BLOWN away by all of the generosity of the donors and at this incredible momentum by the Black Rock community to get us this far. WE’RE KEEPING DONATIONS OPEN for at least one more week––WE ARE SO CLOSE!
We’re less than $5,000 away from the $75,000 goal! Absolutely INCREDIBLE work, Wildcats––but, we still need YOU! Students can still earn prizes through September 26th, however, the Stuffy Raffle is now closed.
We would still love to get that full bingo card! Can you help us? Grab your student’s donation link and share with everyone you know or send requests directly through PledgeStar. (“Share On Social Media And Other Ways” and copy the link.) Every donation counts!

Insurance Window Closes Soon!
The LTP Student iPad Insurance window will close on September 15th. Parents who wish to join the insurance pool for the current school year will need to make at least a partial payment before that date. All students are eligible to join the insurance pool for the school year.
This optional insurance fee will be voided on September 15th if no payment has been made.
2025-2026 Student iPad Insurance: $25.00
The iPad insurance fee will be reduced or waived for students eligible for a free or reduced price lunch under the federal poverty income guidelines and homeless students as defined by McKinney-Vento. If you have families who are in the process of applying for these programs, they may make a minimum payment to opt into the insurance while the application is being processed.

Note: Outstanding insurance balances from last year must be paid in full before new insurance is added.
