Good Morning Families,

The Asa Packer PTA would like to thank you all for participating and supporting our fundraisers, such as Gertrude Chocolates, Dine and Donate, Spiritwear, Tomblers, Bookfair, Sunshine Cart and Dance-a-thon!

We were all extremely pleased to see so many smiling faces during our first-ever Dance-a-thon! An official Dance-a-thon results and raffle winners will be announced next week. Thanks again for all of your support!

Because of your support, we are able to provide Asa Packer Elementary students, teachers and staff supplies, equipment, educational programs and an OUTDOOR LEARNING SPACE! Our committee has been working hard on the logistics and elements of this exciting new project! More details to come. If you would like more information, have questions, suggestions or want to be involved, please contact Melissa Johnson or ShawntaySabetti@gmail.com.

If you have any questions, suggestions or thinking about being more involved, please contact me. We welcome you!!!

Enjoy this beautiful weather!
