Note from our President
For your information, the Zumba fundraiser brought in just over $500!! Thank you to everyone who helped, came, and contributed to the success of this family event/fundraiser!!
Now for the BIG question? It is the PTO's turn to do the fund raiser in the Fall. As parents and members, would you rather pay $25 a child (or family) and NOT do a fund raiser of selling items OR sell $1 candy bars and cookie dough?
The reason I am asking now, is if we as a PTO want to sell goods, I need to sign our group up by April 29th to get some more incentives for us. Please let me know your thoughts by April 20th!
Thanks for all your involvement your child's education!

Parking
Hi Parents,
Im sure you all have seen how busy and congested our parking lot gets when you are picking up your kids. Now that the weather is warming up it would be very helpful if you could pick up your kids behind the school. There is a parking lot (by softball diamonds) at the end of the grassy field where you can park and either wait or walk up the field to the playgrounds to meet your child. Kindergarteners are the only ones let out in front , grades 1-6 are let out in the back. This would help relieve the traffic in the main parking lot. Thanks so much!
