PTO 2020-21


Welcome to the 2020-21 School Year!  This year will look different than previous years as we adapt to Covid-19 and Remote Learning.  We will not have Field Trips or Pizza Days.  We hope to return to In-Person learning and host our annual Track-A-Thon in Spring 2021. 

The 2020-21 PTO school year is off to a strong start.  We welcomed back our Teachers and Staff with a first day of school PTO sponsored lunch, and a "Whatever It Takes" decorative sign in front of the school.  Each Carpenter family received a "Whatever It Takes" yard sign for their home to unite us in this year's Carpenter theme.  PTO also purchased colorful bins for each student to help organize supply pickup days.  We have our creative thinking caps on in hopes of bringing our students a safe and fun-filled year.

This is an event for 5th grade students only.
