Please join the Benignus PTO by selecting the Leopard Membership. This allows you to be your child’s advocate while putting money directly back into the classrooms. Joining PTO does not require you to complete volunteer hours. Also, along with membership you are able to purchase Spirit Wear for the 2021-2022 school year. This will be your only opportunity to purchase these items. The link below is open today through September 3rd. All items will be delivered early October. https://benignus-pto-membership-drive-2021-2022.cheddarup.com
