🍫🙋‍♀️ Raise your hand if you’re excited for chocolate!! 🙋‍♂️🍫

Our chocolate fundraiser kickoff was today, and the kids are PUMPED!! 🎉 While they’re excited about earning some awesome prizes, the real prize is everything this fundraiser provides for our school! 💚

This is our big fundraiser!! It funds field trips, PTO events, classroom extras, and so much more! These funds help us create lifelong memories for our students while providing extra support to our teachers and classrooms. 📚✨

It’s not too late to send back your permission slip and help sell! Chocolate goes home tomorrow! 🍫

If you sell your entire box and would like to keep selling, simply send back your signed money envelope with your payment, and you can get another box!

We truly can’t do this without you! Thank you for supporting our school! 💚🍫

Another successful school year is in the books! ❤️

We wanted to take a minute to extend our gratitude to everyone who volunteered their time throughout the year. Without all of you, PTO events simply would not be possible! I know I wasn’t able to get pictures of all of our amazing helpers, but please know how truly appreciated you are. 🥰

We also want to say a special farewell to our treasurer, Alyssa Johnson, and our secretary, Heather Ebbighausen. As their 3rd graders graduate from Northern, they’ll be leaving us as well. Thank you both for your years of dedication and service to the PTO — we will miss you so much! ❤️

Have a wonderful summer, and we’ll see you all in the fall! And don’t forget to tell your friends with incoming Northern kindergarteners to follow our page for upcoming event info and updates 💚🐺
