With your participation, we were able to raise $1,130 for the PTO’s Mini-Grant Fund, which funds teacher-requested classroom enhancements for the 2025-2026 school year. Enhancements can vary based on classroom need from new rugs to sensory bins, library seating to bookshelves, books to a puppet theater; the Mini-Grant Fund helps provide a more comfortable and enriching classroom experience for our IE students.

Finally, if you have any feedback regarding the event, please email me your comments. We hope to repeat the event next year!
