The Harvest Carnival was truly magical! ✨

A huge thank you to Sonia for taking lead on this massive and amazing annual event. Her enthusiasm, passion, and hard work brought it to life! Thank you to all of the volunteers and room leads for putting in so much time and energy into making this event a memorable night for our students. Special shout out to Erica and her team of volunteer crafters for creating an extraordinary Haunted House. Thank you to everyone who came out to make this a beautiful, fun-filled community night.

We hope you have a wonderful (short!) week. 🦁💙

Many fun PTA events like the Harvest Carnival happen after-school hours, but not every student can attend. That’s one reason why the PTA funds special guests during school assemblies. Please consider donating today!

“One of my favorite memories is the Birds of Prey school assembly sponsored by the PTA. Students learned about raptors, watched birds of prey in flight in the gym, and got up-close looks at hawks, falcons, and owls. Each student also got the opportunity to pet an owl! Assemblies bring students together across classrooms, grade levels, and backgrounds, helping everyone feel connected to the larger school community and they are all possible thanks to the PTA.” - Jennifer, 3rd and 5th grade parent

Every gift helps, no matter the size. Donate today and spread the word!
