Christmas Gift Giving Spirit!


Christmas is just around the corner and your Northland Christian PTO has the perfect way to make Elementary Teacher gift shopping simple and worry free. The PTO grade reps will be sending home "Teacher Wish Lists". Your teacher has selected their favorite Scrips gift cards. Your student's teacher will receive a tree or wreath decorated with the Scrips cards during their class Christmas party. Don't forget those other special teachers in your student's life (i.e., choir, science, administrative staff, etc.). Please email your grade rep and they will take your order for any additional teacher.
