Applications are now open to staff, students, and community members to implement projects that align with school and community needs. We will need five volunteers to spend 3-5 hours during the first couple weeks of November reviewing grant applications with other committee members and making recommendations for awards to the PTO Board. 

If you're interested, sign up to join the grant committee today!

The volunteer page on the PTO website is now updated with currently recruiting volunteer opportunities! Check back regularly to find ways that you can support our school and PTO. If you have any questions, please email CaitlinEVoegele@gmail.com.

We had our 1st Latino Parent Empowerment (PEG) meeting Thursday, attended by families and staff. PEG groups provide families with a venue to connect with the school community and gain information related to school, and to form connections with each other and the school staff. The groups also serve as a forum to educate and share information that empowers parents to be active and well informed. 

Next Latino PEG meeting: Nov. 9th
