In addition to the four fundraisers the PTA sponsors, the PTA also holds two book fairs.  The first book fair is in the fall with the second book fair taking place in late spring.  All of the proceeds from book fairs go directly back to the school.  The first book fair provides each student with a $6 book of their choice.  Each teacher also gets to choose $25 worth of books for their classroom.  The second book fair provides $500 worth of new books for the library and each teach gets to choose $25 worth of books for their classroom.

 

Thank you to every teacher, parent and student who has helped the PTA this year.  Any amount of time you have volunteered this year has been greatly appreciated.  

 

We would like to thank the wonderful PTA board, Jenny Franzene, Jenna Carpenter, Michelle Burton, Lisa Kammes, Kateri Paeglow and Shelli Nelson.  These individuals have been great to work with and extremely supportive.  Thanks for all your hard work and help during the past year.
