PTA Announcements – Week of October 11, 2020

Get Your Dance-a-Thon Pledges In!

Our Dance-a-thon fundraiser is here!

Instead of our annual fall Jog-a-thon fundraiser, this year students will have an opportunity to showcase their dance moves in a 19-second video to Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”

Simply create a pledge page to share with your friends and family to collect pledges and donations for our school. We will also have envelopes for checks and cash available at the school office on Monday (10/12). Last day to pledge is Friday, 10/30.

Your child can submit their dance videos to us to FlipGrid (link available the last week of October).

This is our biggest fundraiser of the fall, and your participation will make it a huge success.
