NOTICE - PTO Teacher's Grant Request

Mrs. Waters is requesting $255 to fund the purchase of a rug for her first grade classroom.  The rug is used on a daily basis, providing age-appropriate and alternative seating for group and independent instruction as well as a place to play during indoor recess. This rug replaces her previous rug which was damaged. The PTO Executive Board and School Administration are in support of this grant request.  We will vote on this grant request at the next General PTO meeting on March 13.

There is a very confusing, repeating piece of spam email asking parents to purchase a yearbook from Lifetouch.
