Dear Families,
We are thrilled to see all of the behind the scenes work with our PTO who is keeping the Tiger Magic alive!!
We are so fortunate that all of the PTOs from our host schools have been incredibly kind and generous to our staff and students. Our children are being included in anything happening at the assigned schools. Each and every day all of our LDS classrooms are filled with smiles from all of our students who are beyond resilient and adapting beautifully.
While we realize that other schools may be sending out information about the PTO (inlcuding membership) please know that this does not apply to Laura Donovan School.
Now more than every we are hoping every family joins the LDS PTO, bridging together while we are separated. We have attached some of the upcoming events below, as well as how to join the PTO.
We cannot do it without you, so we hope you consider joining and becoming involved.
Even though we are not currently in our home school, we still are a functioning PTO with our own community events and fundraisers. Depending on the timeline of our situation, some events may not be able to happen as previously planned due to logistics. However, planning, evolving and tweaking are always in the works. Some events/fundraisers will remain in the TBD category and updates will happen as we know more.
You will continue to receive PTO information regarding events from your temporary school, as they are embracing and welcoming our tiger cubs into their community. These events, just like LDS events, are optional to attend and participate in.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
Warmly,
Laura Donovan PTO Board, Mrs. Benbrook & Mrs. Rosen
Let the Sun Shine for our amazing Donovan Community...
We want to thank the numerous Donovan Families who have gone out of their way to send positive messages, generously donate, deliver beautiful little surprise care packages and tokens of love and appreciation to show you are thinking about our school! It is appreciated more than words can express.
It was also wonderful to see our Donovan community out in full force at Jersey Freeze on Monday. What a special event that brought all of the energy and good vibes that LDS always puts out.
Do you have creative ways to spread sunshine to our staff and/or students? While our family is separated, this is a special way to remind them that we are thinking of them, and always together in heart! Below is a Sign up form for the next couple of months to participate.
If the slots are filled, and you would like to do an extra date, please reach out! Never too much magic!
Staff count: 76
Student count: 436
From our PTO
To Our LDS Families,
We are truly inspired by the resilience and unity of our community. You've chosen to show up and rise up with unwavering dedication when we received the news about our beloved school being temporarily closed. This is not where our story ends. In fact, it's just the beginning! Our school year may look a little different, and you may have some questions about the PTO and what we plan on doing during this unconventional time.
Our number one goal is to be here for our families! We have many fundraisers that benefit our children's school. Just last year, we were able to put in a new sound system due to many fundraisers that families participated in.
We want to reassure you that we are still committed to doing fundraisers this year. Coming together as a school and a community is a priority, and we're confident that with your help, we can continue to enhance our children's school experience. Like most events, they will remain in the TBD category.
Please continue to bear with us on this wild ride! We are eager to have you as part of our PTO this year and would greatly appreciate your commitment through the payment of our annual dues.
As always, we are here to support our families. We are DONOVAN STRONG!
Warmest Regards,
Laura Donovan School PTO
