PTO Membership Drive
The Classroom Challenge ends this Saturday, October 31st.
The classroom with the highest percentage of PTO memberships wins $150 worth of indoor recess equipment!
Your membership helps fund field trips, recess equipment, school celebrations, and special events that make Derynoski such a special place.
Remember, joining the PTO doesn’t mean you have to volunteer or attend meetings, althought we'd love you have you.
Your membership alone makes a difference.
