PTO fall fund drive - We are halfway to our goal!
Thank you to the families who have already supported the PTO fall fund drive.
We are halfway to our goal! Can we find 20 more families to donate the suggested $50?
No Sell School!
Owen Marsh Elementary students are not asked to sell products through door to door fundraising, instead the PTO asks each family to provide a monetary donation at the start of the year and to support our activities throughout the year. Donations are used to support programming for students, materials for teachers, projects around the school, and to show appreciate to school staff throughout the year. The PTO suggests a $50 per family donation, but any amount is appreciated. Donations are tax-deductible (please email if you need a receipt). See the flyer for two easy ways to pay.
