From the Desk of the Parent Teachers Organization

All of us that volunteer with the Elementary School PTO would like to give a great big thank you to everyone for all the incredible support so far this year by allowing your students to shop at our most recent fundraiser, the Santa Secret Gift Shoppe, as well as the Scholastic Book Fairs, and our Fall Catalog fundraiser. Without your help we could not help with classroom needs, field trips or playground needs. You made the difference that helped make it a success! We hope to be able to continue this fundraiser and provide this opportunity for our kids to experience the gift of giving each year.

Whether you ordered items from Believe Kids, bought books from the Scholastics book fair, sent money for your students to shop, shopped yourself or sent money with your student to purchase popcorn on our Popcorn Fridays, we are very grateful for your contributions. We are proud to be able to serve our school, our faculty and families.

And thank you to the many people in the community that help us by donating their time as well as monetary donations: Cathlamet Grocery, Bank of the Pacific, Waterway Espresso, Cathlamet Pharmacy, Sharon’s Pizza Mill, the Lions, Club, Cathlamet Video Store and The Wahkiakum County Eagle, and these are just a few. We can’t thank you enough! You may think it was nothing, but for us it’s a big help.

To all the many people that help us out when we hold an event and need extras, you are always there. Thank you so much for that!

The PTO is only able to thrive with the help and support that students, staff, parents and the community give and offer to us.

We hope that everyone has a great and safe holiday break, and a wonderful Christmas with friends and family.
