​2024-2025 ANNOUNCEMENTS FROM PTO

We kicked off our first Pie-A-Palooza! This fundraiser is running from November 1st-15th. 
We are trying to come up with fun incentives for our kids so we have created 2 prize options: The top 3 fundraising students get to pie a teacher/faculty member. Dr Kopacz is doing the honor of being pied in the face for our TOP fundraiser.  The top 3 fundraising classes will win a pie party, courtesy of the PTO with your choice of pie. 

Our Fall Festival is scheduled for November 16th from 5-pm. These flyers should also be in your mailbox if you have not passed them out yet. We are extremely excited for this and hope you will join us, whether it be to volunteer or just come and hang out! We are going to have food (for purchase), face painting, pumpkin decorating, games and candied apples (for purchase). 
Our Square One Art Fundraiser will start the first week of December. Big shout out to Ms. Robbins with the art department and Christine Kessler (PTO Co-Chair) for making this happen! Our students' art work has been sent out to the company and catalogues should be coming back soon.
​
Kona Ice will be back on campus! We are doing prepay ONLY. That way there's not any more extra things we are asking of you. We have it scheduled for Elementary 3-3:30pm and Middle 3:30-4pm. Our first Kona Ice Day is November 20th (not including them being at the fall festival). Followed by December 18th, January 15th, February 19th, March 12th, April 9th. May we have pending due to not knowing when we are going to schedule our end of the year event. 

The PTO is pleased to offer a supplemental grant to help teachers create meaningful experiences for students through field trips and classroom activities. This grant is designed to partially offset costs and requires that students pay a field trip fee as the PTO cannot fully fund these activities. Please complete the form below to apply. We will review all applications and notify applicants of grant decisions. Please note that all grants are awarded based on available funds and may vary from the requested amount.
