GOOD TO KNOW
PTO Announces a Big Change to Events for 2020-2021 After months of careful thought and discussion, and review of your responses to our survey, the PTO Board has decided to make adjustments to our special events to better fit our objectives and the needs of our school community. We will still hold the four events you all know and love: Mother/Son Night, Trivia Night, Daddy/Daughter Dance, and Carnival/Fun Run. However, next year Trivia Night will be our only fundraiser. It will be the only event featuring raffle baskets and silent auction items. The benefits of this change are many; a few specific perks include:
Please understand that this modification does come with a trade off--fewer fundraisers means less money coming in. We will have to make adjustments to our budget for the 2020-2021 school year. We are still working out the details, but we appreciate your support in making this change a success. Thank You for Making Trivia Night 2020 a Success We appreciate everyone who came out to Trivia Night to have fun, play trivia and bid on all of our amazing auction items. We saw some fabulous SNL character costumes! Most importantly, your generosity helped raise money for Morse PTO initiatives. (Total to come soon!) Please take a moment to read our list of donors, sponsors, and committee members: their contributions helped to make this amazing event possible for our community! |
