Quick Quack Car Wash Passes Support Student Field Trips
Our students have planned wonderful field trips for 2026–2027, including Turtle Bay, Shakespeare in Ashland, Science Camp, the Whiskeytown environmental day camp, and a pumpkin patch. To make those trips happen, Monarch is selling Quick Quack car wash passes online. After you buy, a code arrives by email that works at any Quick Quack location, and nearly half of every pass goes straight to the field trip fund.
Donations are accepted by credit card, PayPal, Venmo, and Apple Pay at successfund.com/n7myy. Please share the link with family and friends.
Monarch Boosters help with fundraisers and school events throughout the year, and every family is welcome. If you would like to lend a hand, ask at the front office or watch for Boosters information at school events. The flyer is available in English and Spanish.
