Harvest Festival
The Annual Harvest Festival is the PTO’s biggest event. It highlights each class allowing for unique fundraising by grade, activity or school group. The event is for the entire student body from Pre-K-12th grade and their families and often draws former families and Alumni back.
On behalf of Lee Waughtel (PTO V.P.) amount requested is $1500 which would be the operating budget for the event and allow the PTO to supply goodie bags, some free games, table cloths, entertainment etc.

However, families can choose how they can best be involved, from creating their own projects to joining committees. Help us by sharing your passion and strengths where they will make the biggest impact.
