PTO Piney Post - Week 25 - February 23rd, 2026
Mon, Feb 23 3:45pm


This is the last week for our Raise Craze Kindness fundraiser and our school is doing an amazing job!! So far, we have raised over $38,000 from 33 different states and our students have done our 1,700 acts of kindness!!! Truly remarkable!  When you are taking a break from playing in the snow this week, keep those acts of kindness coming, PGS! Our students are making a BIG difference! And don't forget about our special snow day incentives below. 

If you would like to join the kindness movement, it isn't too late to register using the link below and costs nothing to do so!  You can register at:
https://my.raisecraze.com/app2/join/ANNQJ2TW
Classes that reach 67% registration earn the kindness cart for their class!

⭐️Just as a reminder, make sure you take advantage of company matching to maximize your giving! ⭐️

Here is a list of all incentives that can be won in our drawing this week for doing acts of kindness!

Please join us for our Kindness Event – MAKEUP DATE this Friday, February 27th, in the PGS cafeteria from 5:30–7:30 PM. This is a drop-in event, and pizza will be provided for everyone, courtesy of the PGS PTO.

Because the event was rescheduled, we kindly ask all families to submit a new RSVP, even if you responded previously (sorry for the inconvenience!). While the event is free, please “purchase” a ticket and indicate how many family members will be attending so we can plan accordingly (and order plenty of pizza!).

REGISTER NOW! 

We’ll have several kindness stations set up for children to participate in, and we look forward to a fun, meaningful evening together.

We would still gladly use donations of toiletries for our comfort bags for the Avon Food Pantry and the homeless!  We are accepting any basic toiletries like toothpaste and toothbrushes, soap, washcloths (white is preferred), shampoo, conditioner, deodorant, etc.  Donations can be dropped off in bins in front of the office.  Thank you, PGS!
