Every December, the PTO and Mrs. Barnett organize a Helping Hands gift donation drive to help local families have a happy holiday. Please check out the Signup Genius link below, choose a child (or more than one!), and purchase a gift. There are gift suggestions listed for each child; we really want to make sure that every child listed receives at least two gifts. Please wrap the item(s), put the number of the child on a tag with the gift, and return it to Munson by December 16. Contact the PTO with any questions at munsonelementarypto@gmail.com! Thank you for helping us to make it a happy holiday for local families.
