During the school year, meetings are alternated
between the second Thursday and Wednesday of
each month at 6:30 PM (unless otherwise announced via e-mail or letter
sent home). We meet
at the school.
If you want something added to the agenda, please let
the PTO president know before the next
meeting.
Fundraising enables us to buy books and equipment, provide additional
fieldtrip opportunities for the students, support the Goodwill/Sunshine
club and raise money for our
Playground.
