north junior high pto works to:
Support Students | Appreciate Educators | Create Community | Sponsor Fun
you made the little give a big success!
Way to go, Vikings!! We had a goal of raising $5,500 by the end of September, and we had exceeded it the week before! The grand total was $7,330, which will cover teacher appreciation through the fall as well as fund grants for student club and activities. We have already allocated part of this funding to restock the Viking Hus (see more about the Viking Hus under All School Events below) and part of it will go towards providing dinner for the teachers during the first night of Parent Teacher Conferences. The balance will be used for student club grants, teacher appreciation, and other direct ways to fulfill our PTO mission of supporting students, appreciating educators, creating community and sponsoring fun. We are so grateful for your support and generosity and your commitment to the culture at North.
