PTO ANNOUNCEMENTS

Mother-Son Spy Date

We are so excited about the upcoming Mother/Son Spy Date! You can reserve your date pack HERE by January 22!

Note: Everyone that signs up will need a stick of butter and an egg for the baking challenge! We are thrilled to have such a huge response from our entire community for this event and all of the unique ways we've been able to creatively and safely continue our many Dogwood traditions this year. All of this would not be possible without the support of our community, including Memphis Escape Room, and our countless volunteers. While this particular PTO sponsored event is for our Mother/Son date night, Memphis Escape Room does offer in-person, virtual, or print-at-home escape room packages if you are looking for some family fun time. Please check them out to view the many available options, and be sure to thank them for their support of the Dogwood PTO!
