Final Newsletter for 2015-16 School Year

ART WALK WAS A SUCCESS
Thanks to our generous families the PTA Spring Art Walk and Fundraiser exceeded our expectations. We raised over $12,000 for our school! Funds will be used to support the Clay and Art Program, art supplies in classrooms, our spring drama production and so much more.  It has been a great fundraising year for the PTA.  All three of our fundraisers did very well creating many new opportunities for our PTA to continue our mission of enriching the social and educational development of students.   Discussions are already underway with the Board,  Principal Estephan, teachers and staff about new opportunities that these funds can support. Stay tuned for more next year!
