Please make sure to register your child for the PTO fundraiser. This is super simple to do. All students received a packet last week. It has the directions on how to register your child. You have to share it with 10 people. Then you can share the link to Facebook. Also, everything is done on the link. They pay for the items and they are shipped to their house. No work for you besides sharing the link. I will say they have a lot of different items than Paragon. Please go check it out and help us to raise our goal of $3000. We will use our profits for family nights, fun day, and field trips for students. We want to put the money back towards the kids and their families.
