Each good act, and every event attended earns you points! The more points you collect, the closer you get to the prize!!!

Parents : All activities are voluntary. You will be receiving emails throughout the year for opportunities for your child to earn points. Our goal is to make this fun and rewarding for the students, and give them opportunities to show that they are a responsible PTA member.
