welcome to the little give
The North Junior High PTO's mission is to support students, appreciate educators, create community and sponsor fun. We are only able to do this through the overwhelming generosity and support of the North community. This year, we are launching a kickstarter campaign called The Little Give that will be our primary fundraiser for the fall semester. This will be a way to fund teacher appreciation, grants for student clubs, volunteer appreciation and parent social nights until it's time for The Big Give, our primary fundraiser for the spring semester.
Our goal is to raise $5,500 by the end of September. You can donate by scanning the QR code or clicking on the link below. Please consider giving $5, $10, $20 or $25. Thank you for your help. Every dollar counts!
