The PTO is looking for individuals to fill the positions of the PTO Board for the next school year. Currently, we do not have a PTO Board in line for next year. If you have any suggestions or would like to join the PTO, please let Mrs. Harris or Mrs. Martinez know!

Without a PTO Board, school activities (Fall Carnival, Santa's Workshop, Teacher Appreciation Week, Fundraisers) will not take place. We would lose out on water coolers in the classrooms, vendor lunches, classroom improvement funds, extra money for teacher supplies, all of the fun activities throughout the school year.

Follow the link to endorse our school. We would like to have this reach as many families as possible along with friends and other family members.
