Supporting Kettering through daily shopping!
One of the easiest ways we can help our school is linking our Amazon accounts to support our PTA through AmazonSmile. With the holidays fast approaching, it will take but a few minutes to bring a recurring source of funds back to our kids. The link is found here at https://smile.amazon.com/ch/95-6207071 , and also available on our webpage www.ketteringpta.org . Thanks for your support! #ketteringpta
