We have had to curtail events that don’t meet safety requirements, but your PTO is ready to to continue providing enrichments as well as necessities to help the schools during this unprecedented time.

To see what we’ve already agreed to fund for this year click here.
While the pandemic has affected us all, some of our families have been more severely impacted. For those families, please know that we do not want to add to the strain by asking for your funding or time. We happily and warmly support all our school families, particularly those facing hardship whose circumstances require them to sit this one out.
