End of Year Giving:
As we approach the end of the school year, the PTO organizes a group gift option to show appreciation to all staff, teachers, specialists (art, music, library, etc.), and school support staff. Please use the below link to contribute as you are able, there is absolutely no obligation to do so.
Contributions must be made by May 23rd to allow the PTO time to purchase gift cards on behalf of everyone who contributes. We will provide the gift cards to staff, teachers, specialists and school support staff the last week of the school year.
Please contact us if you have any questions. Thank you for your generosity and support throughout the year!
