January Update
PTA Members,
I hope everyone had a wonderful winter break & holiday season! It's a school night... phew! I have a few follow-up notes from December I wanted to share:
- Huge thank you to EVERYONE that helped get the cookie dough delivered. It was a tad chaotic but overall, a success!
- Thank you to everyone that helped at Cookies with Santa!
- The Culver's dine-out night was a HUGE success! It was the largest check they have ever written for one of these events... over $400! Way to go!
- Thank you to everyone that provided food for the teacher breakfast. It smelled amazing :)
