Lifting Up Our Teachers & Staff

The PTO loves to support our teachers and staff by providing lunch, coffee and donuts, supplies that are not covered by the district and to contribute to celebratory and bereavement events.

We have a Diversity Committee (DivCo) who work closely with the D97 DivCo to educate our community about diversity and inclusivity.
