Fun Run is Coming!
Padilla Elementary PTO will be hosting our 1st Annual FUN RUN fundraiser!! More details coming soon! We are asking parents to help cover some of the cost of the t-shirt by sending in $5 per student. These t-shirts will be worn and used as a lap counter during the fun run. Please contact PTO at padillaelementarypto@gmail.com if you feel like this would be a hardship on your family. If you are interested in helping to sponsor a shirt for another child please let us know as well. Please send money with your student by Tuesday September 13th. Thank you!
