Karigon PTA 💚 would like to take a moment to thank two amazing volunteers who are leaving our Executive Board this year.

Bridget MacLagger has supported countless fundraising efforts, including co-chairing and chairing our Trunk or Treat Halloween 🎃 event, while also serving as our Corresponding Secretary for the past two years.

Tiffany Waligora has led numerous committees, including Veterans Day 🇺🇸, Honorary Life, and Scholarships, while serving as our Recording Secretary for the past two years.

We sincerely thank both of you for your time, dedication, and commitment to our school community.

We would also like to thank all of our incredible volunteers who helped throughout the school year. Without your support, these events would not be possible.

If you’ve ever considered volunteering, we encourage you to join us next year! No task is too small, and no amount of time is too little. Being part of our school community is truly rewarding.‼️

Thank you all for everything you do. We wish everyone a wonderful summer! 😎☀️

Together We Can Do It! 🐱💚
