PTA Volunteer Spotlight! A big shout out to Molly Southworth and Laura Smart, who planned our epic Fun Run in the fall. This year, Molly and Laura implemented a new online pledge system, which made it much easier to seek donations from friends and family far and wide, bringing our Fun Run earnings to over $20K to support great programs like field trips, makerspace, PTA community events and more!
