Kapaa High escrip Renewals are done. Why is this important?

escrip renewals for 2010 have been completed. Mahalo to all those who helped with this very important annual initiative - especially Mrs. Perdue for her unfailing support.

The programs and sponsorships of the PTSA are solely funded through escrip fundraising.

To all current and potential Kapaa High PTSA members, all our Warrior families, and especially our Kapaa High faculty and staff, please enroll and check your account settings often to maximize this passive fundraising. It's safe and costs you nothing but a little bit of time. Mahalo for your support.
