Mom’s Pantry Orders Ready for Pickup

Update: Thank you to everyone who supported the Mom's Pantry fundraiser, which raised approximately $325.00. Money raised from PSPA fundraisers go towards paying for bussing for field trips, and special items for our school, such as the exercise bikes located in the Learning Commons.

Although, we acknowledge and appreciate all fundraising efforts, and all amounts earned, we would like to hear your feedback, so that we can plan for and achieve the most meaningful fundraisers possible!! 


Please share your ideas on Facebook via the main page, via Facebook Messenger, or contact Dominica Witt, chairperson.

Thank you, again!
