President's Message

Dear Parents,


Thank you so much for your support of our Read-A-Thon! This event, along with our annual membership drive, is our primary fundraiser of the year. I'm happy to announce that we raised $19,000! This money will be used to purchase Z-space VR learning stations that all classes will use in C-Lab. I also love this event because it encourages our students to read. It was fun to watch the teachers and students get into the competition and I'm proud that our students read over 275,000 minutes during the two week event. 


We have a busy spring coming up with lots of fun events, so make sure to keep following us on social media to get the latest information. We are also now accepting applications for people interested in serving on next year's PTO Board. Serving on the board is a very rewarding experience and we'd love to see some new faces join. If you'd like to apply, the link to the application form can be found below. 


Once again, thank you for your support.  We could not do it without you!


Sincerely,

Anne Sachleben
