-Dollar-A-Day Update
Our thanks to the families who have
donated to this year’s Dollar-A-Day campaign. To date we’ve raised almost $7,000
or 35% of our goal.
The goal this year is to raise $20,000
this fall so we can eliminate the mid-year fundraiser...and every little bit
helps!
Donations of any amount can be made at
school or by clicking here.
All donations are tax deductive and every single dollar goes directly to
Southmoor to benefits our kids.
-PTO Dues
PTO dues are $15 a year per family.
These funds cover the managerial costs of PTO and allow all donations
received during the year to go toward teacher
grants, staffing needs, and much more in our school. Make checks payable to Southmoor Elementary School and
please note “PTO dues.”
-Peter Pan Auditions Updated Schedule
Thank you to all for such enthusiastic desire to be a part of this production! We are awestruck by the excitement (and numbers) for auditions, so we are streamlining our auditions schedule.
Please check the schedule below and come when appropriate. We are limiting the numbers of students for each day.
If an actor is interested in more than one role, auditioning once is enough.
If you have conflicts, let us know and come when you can.
Thank you!! Ms. Bauer and Ms. Roy
