Teacher Luncheon
It’s that time of year again! Conference week is so busy for our teachers and staff, so on the Tuesday of Thanksgiving/Conference week, our Hospitality Committee hosts a luncheon for them. This year, we are serving Wawa and need some help with funds. If you are able to, please send in Wawa gift cards to offset the cost. Can’t get to Wawa to get a gift card? Send the PTO funds via Venmo or PayPal. Thanks for helping to support our teachers!

As the cool weather sets in, hot meals become even more important to those struggling to feed their families. Please consider placing a donation for the Food Cupboard in the blue bin marked “Food Cupboard”, found in the main entrance vestibule. You are welcome to send them in with your child and have them place the items in the blue bin.
Items most needed are canned fruits and vegetables, peanut butter, jelly, canned meats, pasta, rice and beans and any toiletries. Any items that you can spare are always gratefully accepted. We continue this much needed service throughout the year. Thanks for your support!
