January PTA Meeting
Join us on Thursday, January 12th at 7:00. Please note the day of the week has been switched for this month to accommodate another school event. We'll discuss all the exciting events coming up this spring, including our Maryland Science Center Family Night and Skate Night. Fifth Grade Committee members, please plan to attend so we can kick off the spring projects. The meeting is held in the library, so enter the building through the courtyard at the rear of the school building.
PTA Thanks
Thanks to the many who pitched in to help us wrap up 2016 with Holiday Shoppe, Cookies & Cards, and a catered Holiday Luncheon for all the faculty and staff.
Also thanks to those who supported the PTA's end of year giving campaign. Thanks to the generous donations from the Bass, Hall, Ptaszek, and Rollins families, combined with the company match, we raised $620!
