Dear Families,

We are excited to announce that our Grandfriend's Day event this Friday is set to be a fantastic gathering, with over 200 guests expected to join us! As we prepare for this special day, we want to ensure that everything runs smoothly and that everyone has a wonderful experience.

Due to the high number of attendees and our limited parking space, we kindly ask that if you live in the neighborhood, please consider walking to the school or dropping off your family members at the event. This will greatly help us manage the parking situation and make the event more enjoyable for all.

Thank you for your cooperation and support. We look forward to a memorable Grandfriend's Day with all of you! 

Schedule for the Day:

8:00 - 8:30 AM | Breakfast and Check-In

Katie Milam and Sarah Vandermeer will share all the exciting ways you can get involved. Choose from activities like reading and literacy support, classroom assistance, mentoring, event help, and library support. There's something for everyone!

Bonus – we’ve got a “sweet” fundraising twist this year. Principal Verver has agreed to take one for the team if we hit our $7,500 target. He will face a barrage of whipped cream pies thrown by some lucky students. Help your Cougars meet our goal for the chance to see Verver get “pied”!

Ready to make a difference? Donate today. Check out our Cougar-ific donation levels to show you just how far your “Cougar Bucks” can go to help us reach our goal!

A few lucky students will get to be the ones throwing the pies – their golden ticket is your donation so please include your student’s name in the “Add a dedication to your donation” section. Every donation with their name listed is ONE entry in the raffle which we’ll use to draw names of a few lucky pie-throwing kiddos!

The class with the most PTA memberships will get a pizza party! Parents, students, grandparents, aunts, uncles, friends...all are welcome to join the PTA! 

We are looking for parent volunteers to help make our PTA events great! 

Below are a few examples of PTA events:

• IB Nights (Cultural, Math, Reading, Art, Science)
• Halloween Trick or Treat Trail
• Fun Run (Spring 2025)
