Baldwin Heights Elementary PTO

💜💛Baldwin Heights Community Support💛💜

A student in our school community, an almost 6-year-old boy, was recently diagnosed with a brain tumor. As you can imagine, this diagnosis has led to numerous medical appointments and has forced the family to cancel many of their summer plans.

As a community, we want to help bring some joy during this difficult time by making his upcoming 6th birthday—and that of his twin brothers—an extra special celebration.

If you would like to help, we are accepting donations to assist with birthday party expenses such as cupcakes, decorations, paper products, or anything else they may need.

Donations can be sent via Venmo:

Please be aware that there have been a couple Venmo accounts opened pretending to be ours! One has a - at the end, another has a 0 instead of an O. We are also listed as a verified charity, not as a person. Make sure if you are donating, that your donation is going to the correct place. Venmo has been notified and is working to handle the situation! I have added a picture of our verified charity account profile and our payment QR code!

Every contribution, no matter the size, will help create a memorable day for these boys and show this family just how much their Baldwin Heights community cares.

Thank you for your kindness, generosity, and support. 💜💛

PTO Meeting Tuesday, June 2 at 6:30pm @ Flat River Brewing.

This is our last regular meeting of the 25-26 school year. We will be voting for next year's executive board, reflecting on this year's events, looking ahead to next year's plans, and celebrating a great year! If you are curious about what our PTO does, we welcome anyone from our BH family to join us for this time of celebration and reflection. We're always open to new members and would love to have more BH parents and staff join the PTO with fresh ideas and excitement to continue making our school the awesome place it is! See you on Tuesday!
