-Dollar-a-Day Update
Thank you again to all who have donated to this year’s Dollar-A-Day campaign...as of this morning a total of $15,814 has been donated. Impressive, but short of our $20K goal.
So, we’re going to make one final push and extend the donation window another week. If you didn’t donate, here’s another chance to support our Teacher Grant program.
Every dollar counts, so donate what you can and please, ask your family, your friends, your neighbors, your co-workers...you’ll be amazed how many people are willing to help our great school.
Checks can be made to Southmoor PTO or online at  http://www.southmoorpto.org/dollar-a-day.html
