Is it October already? Hope you all are staying safe and cool in this heat wave! As we eagerly anticipate our upcoming Annual PARENTS NIGHT OUT fundraiser, here are a few fun facts about how your contributions to PTA enrich our youngest and oldest learners. Thank you!

“Kindergarteners love Physical Education! Students develop their motor skills, learn important social skills, all while staying fit and healthy. Providing students with quality art education from Art in Action is extremely valuable. Our Kinder artists draw inspiration from Vincent van Gogh and Henri Rousseau to create their own masterpieces!” - Kinder team

“[It’s valuable to have] Funds to bring in visitors like Jim Wiltens' Leadership program and Darci Cook's Colonial Women program” - 5th grade team

3. When should I show up? Check-in begins at 6:30 PM. Bidding starts at 7PM.
4. Do I need to register in advance? Yes, please! Plus, it helps to avoid the line at the event
