💜🐾The NEW Pickerington Kindergarten Center (PKC) is OPEN and essentially from the ground up they have kicked things off. 🐾

There are new routines, new faces, new schedules and logistics. 🚌 😅 So, to help with the new change, TGES PTO and Sycamore Creek Elementary PTO partnered together to show support with snacks and treats for the staff at PKC this week. 🙌All of the Elementary PTOs have teamed up to help with this new year. This is what COMMUNITY is all about and helping to serve our students & schools. 💜🐾

💚To learn more, feel free to reach out to [email protected] or attend the next PTSO meeting on 8/26/26 at 6pm at Toll Gate Elementary School.
