There is still time to make a donation to the INNOVATION GRANTS for this year. We have been working hard reading some wonderful, innovative ideas from our teachers. Ms. Lane put this short video together with the help of some the past IG recipients. These are just a few of the items donations have paid for. We can't do it without you! Send a check in any envelope marked PTC to the school office. THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU!
