Donating Your "Time, Talents, & Treasurers"

We want to take a moment to share our heartfelt gratitude for each and every one of you. Whether you contribute your time (volunteering), talents (crafting, DIY projects, sharing your expertise), or treasures (monetary donations), each effort plays an equally vital role in keeping everything running smoothly throughout the year.

When we connect with other PTO and PTA leaders in the district, they frequently ask how we’ve built such an amazing community—one that’s always eager to help and get involved. (We are SO lucky to have you!)

Your generosity and dedication haven’t just been recognized by us, the board, but by leaders across the district as well. Thank you for making our community extraordinary!

PTO Epic Events
FREE Family Event

This is always a hit! Come kick off the holiday season with STEM families and build your own gingerbread houses - old school style! We'll provide graham crackers, frosting and candies to make your own gingerbread house. We're looking forward to seeing what constructions our STEM students come up with. 


Please [RSVP] by TONIGHT! (Dec. 1st) with the number of family members attending/building a house so we have enough supplies.

PTO Community Corner
Wrapping + Hot Cocoa For Staff

Our amazing STEM staff serves our community every day. For December's Staff Appreciation event, we want to return the favor with an act of service and a special treat! On December 19th, the PTO will host a staff hot cocoa bar and gift-wrapping station to help ease the holiday hustle. We are seeking volunteers and donations to make this event a success!
