2011 EIGHTH GRADE GIFTIt is with our deepest gratitude that we thank the Class of 2011 for contributing to the Outdoor Education Scholarship Fund established by the Class of 2010. This fund provides financial assistance to students who would otherwise not be able to attend Astrocamp, Catalina or Yosemite trips which Pegasus students agree are highlights of their Pegasus experience. The Class of 2011 created cement pavers, placed in the Laura Hathaway rose garden, to commemorate this generous gift.
