PawParnter Progress

 
 Haven't had a chance
to donate?

It's simple to donate
online and become a PawPartner!

 
Your donations will continue to eliminate traditional fundraising that relies on students selling "stuff" (i.e. gift wrap, entertainment books and cookie dough, etc.).  We recognize that you are all extremely busy and having several fundraisers throughout the year cannot only be very time consuming and a lot of extra work, but can also create unnecessary additional stress!

 

A Progress Report...

 

Thank you!! What an exciting year so far! Your donations for Spirit Wear, Paw Partnerships and Family Fun nights have helped our school tremendously.

The PTO has wisely utilized these donations for the following items:

Instructional Aide for 1st Grade

Accelerated Reader Program

Grade Allocations
Dates 2 Remember
