PTO meetings for the year 🍏

08/23/2026

Reminder! WHO's excited?! Give us some Stanley love, and heart our post if you are planning to come!

Also, in addition to coming together with staff, families & friends, enjoying some Richie's slush and "shopping" at our swap shop for clothing items and backpacks, we also will be welcoming the Waltham Public Library's Bookmobile!

This should be a fun-filled event, and a reminder that it is FREE. See you then! ​😍
