Dear Parents,
The remainder of the school year has much in store on the PTO agenda. I hope you will find projects and programs that you and your family will enjoy! We REALLY need volunteers in order for each of these events/initiatives to be a success. Please fill out and return the form that will be distributed in your child’s cubby to indicate when you can help! Contact me at alubowsky@gmail.com with any questions or to offer your assistance.
Many thanks to you, to the chairs noted below, and to the Room Parents. We have a strong, vibrant, and involved community! I hope to see you at these events.
