Cottonwood PTO Newsletter #12
Greetings from your Cottonwood Elementary School PTO! Here's what is currently happening with the CES PTO. Be sure to follow us on Facebook, too. Click here to join the group.
Non-A-Thon Envelopes Due Friday!
Remember, we aren't going to sell anything, bake anything or run anywhere. We are simply asking for funding to finish out this year and start next year. Last year we raised over $10,000 and the money has been used to purchase snacks for AR parties, playground basketballs, jump ropes and soccer balls, extra computers in the classrooms, field trips, art supplies, scooters in PE, web-based reading programs and trees on our playground. This year our goal is $12,500. With your help, we can raise it!! Be sure to check your child's backpack to see how you can help -- ask your friends, family and neighbors. It all adds up.
Thank you for your continued support.
