  • Pennies for Patients

    Our Pennies for Patients campaign is starting on March 27 and will run for 2 weeks.

    We have joined together with The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society to help with their Student Series campaign to raise funds for blood cancer research.

    During the week of March 27th, students will take home a collection box. Fill it with spare change from your house, car and office. Also, ask your friends and neighbors to see if they have any coins laying around. Bring in your collection box, and give it to your teacher.

    If you would rather, you can go online and make a cash donation. Prizes will be given to those students who choose to donate on line.

    Thanks to schools like US and donors like YOU, there are more children and adults surviving every day.

  • A Trip Around the World

    It is a night of music, performances, and interactive country exhibits. Kids will learn about different countries and sample foods from around the world!

    A family or a group of families can host a country. Each country needs a lead parent as a point of contact. As a host, you can display art, crafts, traditional clothing, and other things that represent your country’s traditions. You can do slide shows or play music if you are getting a separate room. Kids love food samples (a bit size is good enough). We welcome you to bring sample foods to share with others as long as you label the ingredients clearly in case of any dietary constraints or allergies

    At the end of the evening, we do an hour-long cultural program. Families (kids and parents) can perform a dance that is customarily performed in your country.

    Currently, following countries have replied. To make the night full of fun, and allow kids to have chance to explore diversity of cultures, we need your help to host a country.

    • China
    • Israel
    • United States
    • Korea
    • Nigeria
    • India/ Pakistan
    • Colombia
    • Gullah ( a United States Sub Culture)

    Let the PTA know if you are interested in hosting
