Teacher Treats - 8th Grade

The PTO Teacher Treats Program is a way for Scholars families to show our appreciation and gratitude to our teachers who work tirelessly to provide the best education for our children.

Each month, one grade "sponsors" the Teacher Treats by making monetary donations.

February is for 8th Grade families.

Please help us continue to be able to treat our teachers throughout the year by making a monetary donation (of any amount) through the PayPal button found on the PTO website here:
