Dear Parents,
Moving toward the end of this year, we slowdown in the PTO in order to focus more on the upcoming holidays. Thanks to everyone for their donations over the last month or two, be it through your volunteer time, bake sale items, effort to send in box tops, etc. Together we can all help bring more technology into the classrooms, help fund art projects, or improve the school grounds.
Thank you!
PTO Board

You will receive $2.00 off your entire order, and every 16 or 18 inch pizza contributes $3.00 to the PTO.Cary out & Delivery Only. So take a night off from all the Thanksgiving preparation and relax.

Craft Fair – Bake Sale & Basket Raffle

The craft fair bake sale was a HUGE success! We came away with $1,400 in profit thanks to the many donations made by each of you. Special thanks to Andrea Luburich for organizing, pricing, arranging, and managing volunteers. And of course, thanks to all of our volunteers who worked that day.

Craft Fair – Raffle Tickets & Basket Raffle

Both the raffle tickets and baskets were a huge success as well this year. Between the two, we netted almost $10,000. Interested in the winners? Please see the bottom of the newsletter a full list of them.

Book Fair

Thanks for yet another successful book fair. We raised over $1,500 and sold more than 800 books helping enhance our children’s imaginations and discovery of the world around them. Extra big thanks to all of our volunteers and we look forward to seeing all of you again at our spring BOGO event.

Volunteer Party

We have set the date for our annual volunteer party for May 12th. Mark the date on your calendar, and stay tuned for more details.
