A Big Thank You to Our PTO
I’d like to extend our sincere thanks to the Jarrettown PTO for yet another outstanding community event—this time, the 5th Grade’s annual Pasta Night.
Events like this don’t just happen. They take an incredible amount of time, planning, coordination, and heart. Our PTO continues to deliver, organizing one memorable experience after another for our students and families. From start to finish, Pasta Night was a wonderful reflection of the strong, connected community we’re so fortunate to be a part of.
It’s not an exaggeration to say that our PTO officers could be on the school payroll for the amount of time they spend supporting Jarrettown. Their commitment is unmatched, and their impact is felt in every corner of our school.
A special thank you to our PTO leadership—Courtney Lauer (President), Aubrie Gulla, Camaryn Collier, Kate Bectold, and Joanna Reilley (Vice Presidents), Liz Schmidt (Secretary), and Jackie Ferrara (Treasurer)—for their dedication, energy, and care. Because of you, our students and families are making memories that will last well beyond elementary school.
We are incredibly grateful for all that you do. You put smiles on faces and you help shape the culture of the Jarrettown family.
Proud to be a Dragon,
