NEWS FROM THE PTSA
Hello, and Happy Friday!
The Teacher Favorites List is back! The holidays are right around the corner, so we've compiled our annual list of the things our teachers love most to make gift giving a bit easier. Of course, it's completely voluntary, but if you choose to take advantage, the link is here: Teacher Favorites
Don't forget, PTSA memberships do need to be renewed each year. Your membership goes a long way to help fund programs and events. If you haven't joined, links are below. Your dues go to directly toward funding our events and programs, and your membership assures that all have a voice in the direction of our group.
