Spreading Cheer to Teachers!

Thank you to everyone who helped us spread some Holiday cheer to our fantastic teachers and staff.  Because of your generosity, each staff member received a $15 gift card, and we were able to give away 13 more in a drawing.  Every dollar that was donated went to gift cards for our staff! 

We also had lots of sweet treats donated for our cookie exchange so thank you for helping us continue this sweet tradition. Earlier in December the PTO sponsored a luncheon on Unity Day which was also a success!    

Giving to Others

Thank you to all of the families that participated in our Giving Tree!  With your support we were able to deliver presents to 38 families in need this Holiday season.

Start the Year off by Helping!

Click on the link above to find out how you can help out with reading programs including Chessie and Bobcat Bookclub or by monitoring at lunch or recess.  Remember all volunteers must have an up-to-date background check.  Information about this process can be found on the PTO website as well.  

Let's Think About Spring!

Thank you to everyone who volunteered to lead and assist with Fall EEP Clubs.  These clubs would not be possible without the amazing volunteers.  We were able to offer 6 clubs including Arts & Crafts club, Coding club, Crochet club, Photography club and two different Lego clubs. 

It is now time to begin planning for Spring EEP clubs.  We are always looking for new club ideas.  If you volunteer to lead a club your child is guaranteed a spot in the club.  If you are interested in leading a club this spring please complete this form.  If you have any questions you may contact Bethany Love at  spelementaryptoclubs@gmail.com.
