PTO ANNOUNCEMENTS

November meeting November 12 at 9:15 am in staff lounge. Please join us if you are able. If anyone is interested in becoming involved with general PTO and would like to co-head rep with me this year, please let me know - EH will be in need of head rep next year and I would love talk someone through it this year while I’m still helping out at building.

THANK YOU for supporting the Unfundraiser! We raised $10,457 to support PTO programs at Ellsworth Hill and students have earned the following rewards: popsicles at lunch, a glow dance party in music class, dough day in art class, and a scavenger hunt in library. Thanks again for making these rewards and additional programming possible. We couldn’t do it without your support!

Please let me if you have any questions.

If you’re interested in volunteering your time and helping our building PTO this year, visit Sign Up Genius to learn more and add your name to the list.

Due to updates to Raptor security system, you MUST bring your driver’s license to scan to enter the building each time you visit.
