Hello, Roadrunner Families!
We have lots of PTO updates to share!
Pop-Up Cookie Sale
The PTO is hosting a fun and well-timed fundraiser where "decorate-your-own" cookie kits can be purchased! Kits will include undecorated cookies, several colors of icing, and sprinkles. More info will be coming home with students in a flier and also in a separate email from the PTO this week. Kits will be ready for pickup right before Valentine's Day!
Spring Flower Sale
We will once again hold a flowering plant fundraiser in the coming months. More info will be sent out in the coming weeks!
Playground Enhancements
The PTO has funds from the 2023 spring flower fundraiser that are allocated to playground enhancements. We will be purchasing new footballs, playground/four square balls, jump ropes, chalk, and snow toys, as well as collaborating with facilities management to modernize our basketball hoops and to apply stenciling on the playground blacktop this spring. Watch for more updates in the coming months!
