The PTA is funding the purchase of back-to-school supplies for all students.  Family donations during the Annual Fundraising Drive are an important way the PTA raises money for supplies, academic enrichments, professional development for our teachers and more - so keep an eye out for our mailing in the fall and please give generously if you can.

Congratulations 5th Graders!
