PTA Pulse: 10/7/25
We are excited to announce our major fundraiser, Powered by Lightning. This “no-fuss” fundraiser has a goal of raising $25,000 by October 31. All donations will go directly to fund programs and resources that make the school experience enriching and equitable for every student. If every student receives just $25 in donations, we will reach our goal!
Spread the word! Share our donation link with friends, family, on your socials, and everywhere: https://bit.ly/PBL-Donate

Coin Wars Are Coming! Oct 9 and 22
Get ready for a battle of the grades in our school-wide COIN WARS fundraiser! On October 9 and again on October 22 at Fall Fest, students can bring in coins to boost their team's score and bills to sabotage the competition!
🪙 Coins = Positive Points (for your team)
💵 Bills = Negative Points (for other teams)
Every cent counts, and every grade is in it to win it! All proceeds go directly to support our no fuss fundraiser. The team with the highest score at the end will win bragging rights AND a PIZZA PARTY!
Start digging through your couches, piggy banks, and pockets ... Let the COIN WARS begin!
