  • Scoreboard and hoops for the gym
  • Recess equipment
  • Family days like the Carnival, Mother/Daughter and Father/Son events
  • Music materials
  • Popcorn days
  • Field trips
  • Classroom supplies
  • Reading Counts motivation program
  • Raz Kids online reading program
  • Book Fair
  • Santa’s Secret Shop
  • Library books
  • Nooks
  • AND SO MUCH MORE!!!

PLEASE DONATE!  If every child raises $25, we can fund the events above AND reach our goal for the year:  TECHNOLOGY TOOLS FOR THE CLASSROOMS!

We would like to raise enough money to continue the events above and provide affordable tech learning tools for each grade level to assist with student learning.  Please help us support learning through technology by donating to the school PTC.

 

For our walk-a-thon days, we want everyone to wear BLUE and GOLD…EAGLE colors!   Parents and grandparents are invited to join us.   The more, the merrier!
