Here are just a few highlights for you during this snow filled ("Jonas"? "Snowzilla"? "Snowpacalypse"?) week.
PTA News
Teacher Support
Parents are encouraged to check with their teachers periodically to find out what classroom supplies they may need. Feel free to share the need in the PTA's Facebook group so other parents can help, too.
Here are some of the recent requests:
