We have over 485 donors to the PTSO Priority Fund. Donations range from $5 to $2500. Every single contribution impacts the school!
Over the holidays the PTSO...

- Supported over 300 of our students needing holiday assistance.
- Hosted the teachers and staff to a wonder holiday celebration including a gift and donated raffle prizes.
We are SO close to the finish! We just need $7000 more. We would like to wrap up the 2016-17 Annual Campaign but need to meet our goal of $180,000 to fully fund the PTSO annual budget. If you have not given please donate today!
