Engaging our Community
Your PTSA membership and generous donations make it possible for our school to offer these wonderful events that benefit our children and our community as a whole. These events would not be possible without parents volunteering their time to organize, run and support them. We have an exciting line up planned and look forward to seeing you online!
This year, we’ve made extra special event stickers for students to collect. Participate in events to collect them all.
