THANK YOU KRUSE PARENTS
It was awesome to have so many people participate in our Days of Service. Many thanks to those who volunteered their time. Also, the extremely generous contributions of gift cards will allow the PTO to do an additional gift card draw in May. Wishing everyone a great spring as we continue to support our great Kruse staff in the upcoming months.

- provides updated and better technology and equipment for your child's classroom
- relieves some the financial burden of the teachers by providing them with additional money to spend on their classrooms.
- helps implement newer ideas sooner into schools, like flexible seating and sensory pathways.
- helps maintain safe playground and recess equipment.
- provides so much more.
We Love Our Volunteers
- " I have been involved in the Kruse PTO since 2017. I love being involved because I have gotten to know people that I wouldn’t have met otherwise. The sense of community is really important given that my kids are at Kruse more than they are anywhere else. " Tiffany said when we asked her about her involvement in Kruse PTO.
- We asked her about commonly known misconceptions people might have about Kruse and her actual experience her response was, " I think that sometimes people may think that a PTO attracts people who are hyper competitive. This couldn’t be further from the truth, we all really support each other and help out where we can."
- Spring Break isn't too far away. Tiffany filled us in on what her family is looking forward to, "Our family loves spending time at the beach. We are headed to Mexico this spring break for some fun in the sun."
Thanks Tiffany for all the hard work and attention that you put into your role with our PTO!
