Today’s the day! Our Macy’s Fall Fashion for a Brighter Tomorrow campaign is officially live, running September 15 through October 15 at Macy’s, North Point Mall.

The concept is simple: when you check out at Macy’s this month, just say yes to rounding up your purchase for Alpharetta High School. Those extra cents (and dollars, when enough of us join in) go straight to the AHS Foundation, supporting:

- Academic opportunities for students
- Investment in student programs
- Innovative learning initiatives
- Building a brighter future for the whole AHS community

A huge thank-you to Macy’s North Point Mall for partnering with us again this year. Every Raider family, neighbor, and friend who rounds up is directly investing in our students. We’ll be sharing updates throughout the month — thank you for being part of it.
