There are only 3 days left for our Raise Craze Fundraiser! Thank you, PGS for keeping the kindness and the momentum going. Let's finish strong!     

There is still time to register and donate through Raise Craze using this link:

In celebration of our school coming together to work towards one goal through Raise Craze, the PGS PTO will be hosting an assembly featuring our own teachers and staff in a basketball competition on Friday, April 11th! How fun! If we are able to reach our $50,000 financial goal, we will have a ridiculous relay race between our new inflatable friends!

Don't forget to log your child's acts of kindness online to help their classroom earn the traveling trophy for the day and other incentives! You can see the incentives for the coming week below.


Thank you to our amazing volunteers and everyone who was able to make it last Wednesday to our Acts of Kindness Event!  Countless kindnesses were shared and created including 200 comfort bags full of your donations of toiletries for the homeless.  These will be distributed to the South Park Inn in Hartford and through the Avon Food Pantry this week.  You are making a difference, PGS!

Special thank you to Moscarillo's Garden Center and to Doms Coffee for donating supplies for the event!




We want to give a huge shout out to our amazing hospitality committee who provided the PGS staff with sandwiches from Jersey Mike's during conferences last week. And of course, a big THANK YOU to all the families who donated items for the luncheon as well! We couldn't do it without your support!
