From Parent Council: 
Urgent Need for Volunteers! 
Casino Fundraiser: October 14 and 15, 2026... 
We could really use your help with our casino fundraiser on October 14 and 15, 2026, at the Elbow River Casino. We still have 13 spots to fill. If you can take a shift, or know a family member who might be up for it, please sign up here: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0D4BA8A928AAF5C25-65794989-droakley 
Never volunteered at a casino before? No worries. Training is provided, and roles include Cashier, Chip Runner, Banker, Count Room, and General Manager. Pick a shift that works for you. 
The money goes straight back to the school. Our last casino raised around $80,000, which is huge for a small school. That kind of support takes real pressure off our budget for technology, field trips, art and science supplies, residencies, and keeping costs down for families. We would love to keep every dollar we can for our kids.

Thanks so much for anything you can do. We appreciate you! 
Warmly, 
Pinnacle Parent Association
