PFO Corner
Hi Colt families!
Can you believe we are now in November? We are just flying right through this school year. Once again I have to say THANK YOU! This year’s fundraiser participation and volunteerism has been outstanding.
We have a lot happening this month. First up is our food/toiletries drive. These donations will directly impact our area. We also will be hosting our 2nd general PFO meeting on the 8th at 6pm prior to the 2nd grade music program. We hope you can make it.
If you haven't noticed we changed up how kids can collect spirit sticks this year. Each month there will be a designated Friday lunch period where the student can donate $1 to collect a spirit stick of their choice. Next date is set for Nov 12th.
Thank you again for all the support! It is because of your generosity we are able to do amazing things for your students and staff.
Thankful,
Katie
PFO President
