CS PTO Update

/in /by

Hello, Country School Families,

We hope everyone enjoyed a relaxing February vacation week!

This week is your last chance to have WEEFC donations matched. WEEFC funds make it possible for our schools to access innovative resources that elevate our children’s learning experience, including an exciting grant for a new robotics and engineering lab for middle and high school students. Our year-long goal is to engage 100% of WPS families, and a generous donor has offered to match all donations up to $50,000 between now and Tuesday. Donations can be made here by Venmo, MySchoolBucks, and check, and we’ll be tracking participation by school. The school with the largest percentage of participation will win a visit from the Kona ice truck. Country School is currently in third place at 30% – let’s try to bump it up by Tuesday!

Have a great week!

Best regards, Jessie & Jess CS PTO Co-Chairs

KINDNESS WEEK

Before break, Country School celebrated kindness. Be sure to ask your children what they did to spread kindness! The PTO wanted to spread some kindness too. On Valentine’s Day, we provided plenty of sweet treats to our teachers. Then on Friday, we provided a pizza lunch for the entire faculty and staff. They have been working so hard! These small gestures of kindness go a long way. Your PTO dues help make them possible. If you are not a PTO member, it’s not too late to join!
