Students, families, and staff from Primrose School of Broken Arrow demonstrated their commitment to giving back this week, raising $3,000 for local and national charities through a Spring Fling event on Saturday, April 12.
The funds raised will be split between Domestic Violence Intervention Services and the Primrose Schools Children’s Foundation, a nonprofit organization supporting national charitable partners.
“A core value of Primrose Schools is giving back to the community. We believe who children become is as important as what they know, as embodied in our Primrose Promise events,” said Gia Patel, Franchise Owner at Primrose School of Broken Arrow.
“Our annual Spring Fling event is one way we raise funding while bringing the community together in a fun, enriching environment. The event included food, drinks, a magician, a foam party, live music from Hot Toast, a visit from Ana and Elsa, penny wars, yard games, vendors, raffle prizes, and much more.
