PTO Meet and Greet is next Thursday, January 23 rd . Everyone is welcome to attend for a few minutes or the whole hour. Stop in for a coffee, tea, hot chocolate, etc. We would love to see you!!

Valentines - Children traditionally bring Valentine/friendship cards that you can buy at the local Walmart/Target store in packs of 24.

  • Please do not include anything extra in the card (ie) any type of candy, sticker, pencil, toy, etc.

  • Children should only have their names on the cards they give out, do not address the cards to individuals.

  • There should be one card for each child.

    Class Theme Baskets for the Montessoiree are set up by the dining room door. If you would like to donate an item to your class basket, there are suggestions on each basket. On the basket list, write down that you are bringing/brought an item, it will eliminate duplication of items.

Donations for Live and Silent Auction - Need ideas? We have a binder in the lobby listing vendors many have donated in the past, but we need help in contacting them. If you can contact them, put you name next to them so no one else will contact them. If you know of a business, check to see if anyone has contacted them yet. The paperwork for donations is also at the PTO table.
