Saturday, November 15th
Join us for the Countryside BASH on Saturday, November 15th! More info to come. The goal of the Countryside BASH is to build and nurture relationships within our school community while raising funds for the Countryside PTO and the programs we support at school. Through your generosity at the BASH, you are helping to fund the PTO's annual operating budget of approximately $90,000, in addition to allowing us the flexibility to respond to unforeseen expense requests from Countryside Elementary throughout the year.
Some of the anticipated expenses for the 2025-2026 school year are updates to the cafeteria and gym spaces, Countryside "unification" programs and supplies (think: One Countryside!), as well as continued support of literacy and other educational programs.
As we greet friends old and new at the pre-BASH Grade Gatherings and the main event, know that every donation, ticket sale, raffle purchase, and auction bid directly supports our community and our kids.
GRADE GATHERINGS:

The PTO's BASH committee is excited to bring back Grade Gatherings. These parties are hosted in preparation for the BASH to give parents an opportunity to socialize and build connections before the big event. Look for invitations in your email and on the Countryside PTO Facebook page soon! You can contact the PTO with any questions at pto.countryside@gmail.com. |
