PTA Pulse: 10/12/25
Volunteers for Friday, 10/17
First Week Total: $9,440 as of October 12!
Thanks to everyone who have so enthusiastically supported our No-Fuss Fundraiser! We've got one week in the books, and three weeks still to go.
So far, we've received gifts from nearly 40 donors. We'd love to see that number grow. Share this link with family and friends! https://bit.ly/PBL-Donate.
Thank you for your support!
Coin Wars In Progress: $609 Collected So Far!
Students showed up for our first round of Coin Wars last week, collecting a total of $609!
By popular demand, we've added another collection date -- students can add to their team's total on October 17 (at lunchtime) and October 22 at Fall Fest. Students bring in coins to boost their team's score — and bills to sabotage the competition!
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!
8th Grade Parents: Planning Meeting 10/16

For more info about our 8th grade traditions, here's a letter from our committee co-chairs.
