Happy May Hornet Fam!

Thank you to all who came to the last PTO meeting of the year. In case you missed it - the Gala/Auction raised around $47K, raising our year total to $172K.

We have passed voting on funding of a new field, and new books for the Hive! I’m so thrilled that we will have a new beautiful field for our kiddos to play on in the fall.

Interested in chairing an event next year? CoPresidents Erika Sieme & Destiny Campbell are already hard at work lining up an awesome slate. It’s a great way to immerse yourself in the community! It takes our whole village.

Thank you for all of your support! Ashley & the PTO board

For all things PTO follow @laurelhallpto on Instagram. DM (direct message) your student name and grade so we can accept your follow request.
