Get ready for LOADS of important information in this newsletter. We hope you are all settling into a good rhythm now that school is in full swing. To ensure the safety of our community, please make sure to ALWAYS follow the traffic flow and drop-off/pick-up rules. We've already had a few close calls this year. For reference, please go [HERE].

HELP Name Our NEW Friend!

Today, your children had the chance to meet our brand-new mascot! The only problem is, our mascot doesn't have a name yet. That's where you come in! The team has narrowed down some options, but we want this to be a community effort. Please have your children participate by going [HERE] and voting for their favorite name. We'll announce the winning name soon!

Do you or someone you know own a business?

We invite you to become a Community Partner for the 2024/2025 school year and our Annual Color Run, our largest fundraising event. A Community Partnership provides an excellent opportunity to introduce your business to our community while supporting our students and teachers. Please review the partnership levels below and choose the one that best fits your company. For more information, email us at pto.stemlab@gmail.com. The deadline for inclusion in event marketing is September 9th.

Passive or "no cost" fundraising opportunity

Our Passive fundraising efforts are a way to generate funds for the PTO without requiring direct or active involvement from donors or participants. It involves methods where our supporters contribute financially through everyday activities, such as shopping online, using specific credit cards, or participating in reward programs, without making a direct donation. The funds are typically collected by partnering with businesses or platforms that donate a percentage of sales or transactions to the organization.
