*Holiday Gift Fund

Wednesday, December 17th - Deadline

In the spirit of the giving season, the Pershing PTO has organized a thoughtful and convenient way to show your appreciation to our amazing ancillary staff members. This includes our wonderful custodians, cafeteria staff, office staff, crossing guards and officers how much we appreciate them.

Contributions are completely voluntary, and any amount is appreciated.
Please donate by Wednesday, December 17th using this link. [https://www.pershingpto.org/form/m/334040]

Donations will be split evenly amongst the staff members. Please help us spread some cheer by donating to the Holiday Fund!

 

*Counselor Campaign

The Pershing PTO is excited to introduce our first campaign of the year to collect items and monetary donations for our counselor's Calm Corner. The Calm Corner will feature soothing elements such as soft mood lighting, an essential oil diffuser, a noise machine, stress-relief tools (neck massagers, stress balls, and a weighted blanket), and a selection of self-care and mindfulness books. These sensory and comfort items will help staff regulate stress, promote calmness, and restore focus.

 

All teachers and staff will have access to the Calm Corner during their breaks or planning periods. The ultimate goal is for educators to return to their classrooms feeling relaxed, refreshed, and better equipped to support students with patience, positivity, and renewed energy.

Please consider donating items from the Amazon wish list or monetarily to this campaign!
