Spring Fling is moving to the FALL FESTIVAL!
As many of you have heard, our 2020 Spring Fling has been canceled, however, we are moving this event to the fall for the 2020-2021 School Year and re-branding as the Fall Festival! If you are interested in volunteering your time to our fall event, please click HERE to check out all opportunities for both Fall Festival and the next school year. DID YOU KNOW? The PTO fundraises for the next school year, not the current one! This means that the loss of our Silent Auction and Spring Fling event this year takes a hit to our total funds available to give back to the school next year. If you had money earmarked for the Silent Auction that you would like to donate, please let us know! We will be opening up a donation page for those interested in giving. Thank you so much for your support! |

2020-2021 PTO Volunteers Needed!
With so many changes coming over the new few months and upcoming school year, your volunteerism is needed now more than ever!! Please click HERE to see our current list of volunteer opportunities including Board Positions and Committee Co-Chair and General Volunteer Opportunities. It takes a village to keep our PTO running and without your help, responsibility lies on the same people from the Board and Co-Chairs to fill in the gaps. |
