A heartfelt THANK YOU to each and every donor who contributed to this project. Whether you gave financially, shared our post, or cheered us on, you helped make this possible.

Did you have fun finding fun treasures from the community garage sales yesterday?! 🥰

As you’re packing up any unsold items, please consider donating them to our PTO’s Children’s Christmas Store. Each year, our students have the opportunity to shop for affordable gifts for their family members and friends, and your donations help make this special tradition possible.

✨ One person’s leftover garage sale item could become a child’s perfect Christmas gift!

We are looking for:
🎁 Home décor
🎁 Kitchen items
🎁 Holiday decorations
🎁 Small tools
🎁 Games and puzzles
🎁 New or gently used giftable items
🎁 Unique treasures that would make thoughtful gifts for family and friends

Please do not donate:
❌ Shoes
❌ Old blankets or bedding
❌ Broken items
❌ Garbage or heavily worn items
❌ Anything you would not feel comfortable giving as a gift

Our goal is to provide quality, gift-worthy items that children will be excited to purchase for their loved ones during our Christmas Store.

📍 Donation Drop-Off Location: The trailer near the Potlatch Pool (See comments for reference pic!)

📅 Donation Deadline: Sunday, June 28th, 2026

Thank you for supporting our students and helping make the Christmas Store a special experience for every child. We appreciate our amazing community and all you do to help our school! 💚🤍

🎤 HELP US CROSS THE FINISH LINE! 🎼

Thanks to the incredible support of our families, community members, and donors, our PTO was able to purchase a new gym sound system for our school!

We are so close to fully paying it off - we only have about $1,100 left to raise.

This sound system will help support school assemblies, concerts, events, celebrations, and activities for years to come.

We would also like to give a HUGE thank you to our amazing donors so far! Check them all out below!

Every donation, big or small, helps make a difference for our students and staff. 🥰

Thank you, Potlatch, for all your wonderful support! 💚

Last week we did a game for Staff Appreciation Week of "Who Am I?" 90's edition! 🤩

How many of these incredible elementary staff members do you recognize from their 90's images?! We had two staff members guess all 18 correct! 🥳

Big thank you to the families that donated to the trail mix bar! 💚
