PTO Fundraising Goal for 2022 – 2023
We would like to support the Quad Teachers and staff by contributing towards Accordion Doors for the bottom floor. These doors will create a flex space downstairs, which allow for multiple classes to occupy the area engaging with different activities at the same time! The estimated cost is $12k. Our goal is to raise $6k to support the school.
Thank You to The Quad Teachers and Staff!
On Valentine’s Day, the PTO sponsored Valentine’s gift boxes for all students. Thank you to all of the parents to donated items for the gift boxes, and those who helped stuff boxes to prepare for the big day!
Art in the Park
Mark your calendars for the return of the Art in the Park event, an outdoor experience for students to create, explore and experiment with different creative mediums in a mess-welcoming environment!
Set up in the Quad parking lot or playground area
10 – 12 arts/craft stations staffed by 2 parent “artists” each
Students to visit during their regularly scheduled outdoor time and rotate by class
Creativity and expression will be widely encouraged (think sand layer bottles, splatter art, chalk, pet rocks, and so on…)
Great way for parents to support teachers as they enter their busy parent-teacher conference planning season
If you’re inspired and want to pitch a station theme or volunteer early, reach out to Kimya Singleton (kmcoker1@hotmail.com)
Stay tuned for more details and artist signups soon!
