Thank you for supporting PTA and Snail Lake students and staff!

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Snail Lake families for making purchases at the Scholastic online book fair, visiting Dairy Queen for the Island Lake PTA fundraiser, and bringing in snacks and treats for staff on Thoughtful Thursdays. Your support gets more books into kids' hands, provides funds for classroom enrichment opportunities for teachers and students, and communicates during this especially difficult school year that we're all part of a larger partnership to help students' school experiences be positive ones. Thank you!
