EC UE/MS FUNDRAISER PROGRAMS
Important Note from the PTO:
This year, we are focusing primarily on community building. With that said, we are still participating in a handful of fundraising programs, most of which are “giving without spending” programs, to benefit the school and our children. The funds raised will be used to gift all students and staff a 2025/2026 Spiritual Theme T-shirt, fulfill a few school wish-list items, and offset community event costs.
The PTO greatly appreciates and thanks each of you who are able to participate and make any contribution!
