Art To Remember - This fundraiser uses our children’s artwork that they do in class which can be made into many different items that are available for purchase. Volunteers are needed to help order the items and distribute them upon delivery.
Contact Risa McKayat 632-1062 or e-mail mckayigi@yahoo.com.

Auction – This is the primary fundraiser for our school. In an effort to keep our kids from having to sell various items to the general public, the PTO hosts an adult evening out including dinner and silent and live auctions. Last year, this event raised money to support our school, allowing teachers to purchase much needed supplies for their classrooms. Please see the auction page for further explanation of the event and committees’ responsibilities.

Proceeds from the fall fair are used to acquire books for Moye's library; proceeds from the spring fair are used to help students buy books at half price.
