“Magical Things are Happening at PRS”

Annual Fundraising Campaign Kicks Off Tomorrow!

Each student will receive a flyer in their backpack on Monday, September 26, with all the information about this PTO fundraiser. Please consider making a gift that directly benefits your child/children. The Annual Campaign ends on October 7 where the grade with the highest level of participation (not dollar amount) will win a special magic show at PRS! Thank you in advance for helping us reach our $20,000 goal and being a part of the PTO! Please reach out with any questions to prsptoemail@gmail.com.

Please join the Green Team on Wednesday, October 5th - the first early release day - for a PRS playground cleanup!

We'll meet right at 11:30 am by the basketball shed. Dismiss your student(s) as walkers, bring a garbage bag and some work/gardening gloves, and let's get the playgrounds cleaned up!

Questions? Email the PRS Green Team at lizzieinglis@gmail.com or katyvoss@gmail.com.

Rain date: Wednesday, November 2nd. See you there!
