Teacher Appreciation Planning

The PFO has a lot going on for the spring! So we need to plan in advance and are now accepting donations to Teacher's Appreciation Week. We hope to raise enough money to cover TAW expenses this year. The PFO will be collaborating with Dr. Beckham for TAW this spring!

Last year we received $466 in donations (Thank You Parents!) to help cover costs for breakfast and lunch but the total cost that was needed to pay Culinary was $840 ($4 per person for breakfast and $10 per person for lunch). In addition, we also received food and beverage donations from parents for TAW, including a 6 ft long sandwich, a tray of homemade Colombian chicken, 5 large pizzas, snacks and tons of beverages! We hope this year we can get enough donations to cover all costs.

We also secured a date to provide free chair massages to faculty/staff the week of TAW!

Since most of us parents work full time, we did not have enough volunteers to host the breakfast or lunch last year or this year so we are depending on your donations to pay our very own Culinary and Hospitality trades to provide meals and treats!

Please consider a donation in lieu of volunteering. You can sign up here if you would like to make a cash donation or donate directly via Venmo, simply click here.

Many thanks to the parents who have already donated! We greatly appreciate your generosity! To date, we have $400 for this spring's TAW!

Thank you so much for helping us thank our faculty and staff!

Cleaning Out Closets?

Please drop off all of our old clothes and textile items to the JMWT textile bins and help raise funds for our school! Spread the word!

Our bins have brought in over $1,000 for just being there!

The bins are located at the front entrance of the school near Cubeta Field for convenient drop off.

We accept all sorts of used textiles (clothes, sheets, shoes, bags, even stuffed animals and throw pillows). Our bins prevent discarded items becoming part of landfills and gives them a second life. You can view more info here
