Panda Family News
We Learn. We Collaborate. We Celebrate.
It has been an interesting week #PandaFamily! I have missed your #PandaSmiles and seeing you work hard with your teacher. The hallways are just not the same without you - filming for SeeSaw, over hearing a Go Noodle brain break, or watching you collaborate with your classmates on your latest project. I hope you are all well and that we will see one another soon! #KeepItPAWSome Pandas!!

Sign up to be a Thrift Store Volunteer!
Our volunteers at the Thrift Shop last year helped us to add over $20,600 to our budget for this year. This money pays for field trips, classroom and teacher support, schoolwide projects and clubs and a lot of fun events for the students and community.
We are really struggling to get volunteers to come out for workgroups this year. If the 6-8pm window isn’t working for your schedule, feel free to drop in AT ANY TIME and help in the store! Ask for the manager on duty and let them know you have some time and want to volunteer for Pittsboro Elementary School.
We have our workgroups scheduled through the end of 2019. Check out the schedule, grab a fellow mom or dad, and come out for just ONE workgroup! The hours add up and mean so much for the school!
