🐼💚 Thank You for Supporting Our LPES PTO! 💚🐼

A HUGE thank-you to all of our Panda families, friends, and staff who joined us at The Greene Turtle for our recent PTO Spirit Night! 🍔🍟

Thanks to your support, we raised $154.97 for our school! 🎉

Every dollar brings us one step closer to our $10,000 fundraising goal to purchase a new sound system for our school cafeteria. This new equipment will help improve student performances, assemblies, and special school events for years to come! 🎤🎶

We are so grateful for our amazing Panda Nation community! Whether you joined us for dinner, shared our fundraiser, or helped spread the word, your support makes a difference!

🐼💚 Together, we can reach our goal—one fundraiser at a time!

Thank you for continuing to support the LPES PTO and our students! 💚
