PTO Information

• Merry Moose: There are lots of spots open and we can’t run the shop without parent volunteers. This is a very fun event that parents love to help with! If you cannot work an entire 2-hour time slot that is fine, we still need your help. Sign up - https://www.signupgenius.com/go/70A0F4EADAE22A3F58-53553249-merry#/
   
• Stocking Stuffer Contest- We are extending the contest by 1 week. The classroom with the most $1 angels sold by Friday at 3pm will get a tattoo party! All funds go directly to the Angel Tree which will help NDA students have a fantastic Christmas. 
   
• Angel Tree- This is an opportunity to help NDA students who are need this Christmas have a magical time. Angels can be purchased for $25 at this link https://fundraise.givesmart.com/f/54ak/n?vid=1995af 
   
• Teacher Wish List:  The PTO has put together a listing of items that teachers have requested for their classrooms. There is no obligation to purchase from this list, but if you have the means and are willing to help, I know our teachers would be so very appreciative. This is a great way to purchase an extra Christmas gift! https://www.amazon.com/registries/gl/guest-view/34EZ5D5K4HLMG
