Buckland Mills PTO

Thank you everyone who joined us for coffee and donuts this morning! We hope all of our Wildcats have a ✨MAGICAL✨ first day!

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow! 🍩☕️

Wish lists are flooding in! This year, we've taken a new approach by asking our teachers to provide their wish list links instead of simply sharing their favorite things. These lists are brimming with items that will enhance your child’s learning journey and contribute to the teacher's dedication to their education.

Remember, it truly takes a village! While the homeroom teacher plays a crucial role, let's not overlook our incredible Encore Team, Learning Specialists, Guidance Team, and Support Staff. Working together, they are shaping the future, and each one of them deserves our unwavering support!

Our collection grows daily, so if your desired teacher's list isn't visible, remember to revisit for the latest updates!

Buckland Mills PTO - Support Teachers We have an exciting opportunity for you to support our amazing teachers! By purchasing items off their wish lists, you can make a direct impact on their classrooms and help create an optimal learning environment for our students. Your support will go a long way in empowering our dedicated

Our ✨ROCKSTAR ✨ teachers are back in the building today!!! They are preparing their classrooms and planning for an extraordinary year.

Thank you to Maria, the entire Hakeem Crew, Heather, and Krystal for setting the teachers up with breakfast goodies and a much needed Monday morning kick-off! 💪🏼

We can’t wait for this EPIC 2023-2024 School Year.

**Side note: If hosting large meals or putting together menus on a budget is something you enjoy-we need to talk!! Reach out to one of your PTO officers and let’s get you plugged in! **
