December Newsletter
PTO Quarterly Newsletter
December 2025
In the first 1/3 of the school year the PTO has been hard at work fundraising, planning community events, supporting the school library, and planning teacher appreciation. It feels good to finally find a groove as we start our third year as a school PTO! Find ways you can join us and get involved here. We also have a new facebook page and instagram account. You can join our private PTO Facebook group here.
Help with Winter Teacher Appreciation
Right before winter break the PTO gives the educators, staff and bus drivers a little show of appreciation with some food and gifts. Thank you to everyone who took a ticket off the giving tree! If you’d like to contribute you can sign up to volunteer, donate food or gifts cards, or give a financial donation to the teacher appreciation fund.
Sign up to volunteer or donate items for teacher appreciation here.

Library Updates
The library is thriving, with 20 parent and grandparent volunteers supporting Ms. Glasier, offering their time and energy to help check books in and out, shelving books, and keeping the library going. Elementary libraries receive no funding from the district, so our library is completely volunteer-led and relies on parents to make it run. If you’d like to sign up, Here’s the volunteer sign up form. If you’d like to donate to the library to help us buy more books or replace lost books you can do that here.
Next PTO Meeting rescheduled to:
