As you know our dedicated PTO sponsors countless programs and enrichment opportunities for our students each year. This is thanks to the generosity of our families during our annual walk-a-thon fundraiser, as well as the many hours our volunteers dedicate to our school's mission to Inspire. Innovate. Achieve.The donations collected during the annual walk-a-thon event fund the PTO's operating budget for the following school year. Like most things this year, this event has to look a bit different. While we would typically celebrate with a school-wide event in the fall, that was not possible due to COVID-19 safety protocols. Our committee of dedicated parent volunteers reinvented the annual fundraiser to include the opportunity for families to contribute to our PTO's annual budget to ensure programming is maintained for the 2021-2022 school year. Details about how your family can help will be sent home on Friday. Please join us at our 12:00 p.m. virtual PTO meeting on Tuesday, March 16th to learn more. Thank you for your continued dedication to our amazing school!
