WINTER SCHOOL SUPPLY DRIVE



This month, the PTA is having a Winter School Supply Drive for our teachers!  There are stockings on the wall at the entrance of the school with donation ideas for classrooms!  Supplies are purchased and supplied for students each year, but if you are interested in making specific donations during this winter drive for your teachers, see the lists posted by the stockings and look for your child's teacher's name.  If you choose not to donate, your child still has access to items here at school. The PTA appreciates your support!
