PTO news
BoxTops for Education — please send them to the Easton Elementary School in an envelope (if you have a child in the school, please identify with his/her name).
The Easton PTO has launched the latest Penny fundraiser! Funds raised will be used toward the purchase of future playground improvements. Each classroom will collect pennies. (But really, any form of money works)! Each week the classroom totals will be displayed on the wall at the entrance to the cafeteria. Tallies are by classroom, not individual student. The classroom winner will be decided by the highest amount of money collected PER STUDENT. Bonus points will be given to money that does not have to be counted (rolled coins, bills and checks). Thanks for your support!
