Let's spread some sunshine to our hardworking staff! There is a Zen Den that could use some goodies and some Keurig coffee pods, too! 

Our Robinson PTSO would like to support our school by having some goodies for all our staff who are working hard at Robinson, just as we have done in the past. 

We are collecting store bought individually wrapped crackers, chips, candy or snacks. They will most likely be distributed in the TWELVE (!!!) staff workrooms and to our custodial staff and security staff.

Please label any donations "Robinson PTSO" drop off any drinks or goodies to door 1 at Robinson.  Donations will be appreciated from now until February 28.  You may also drop off any donations to Maria Schafer's covered porch near the Burke Centre Library Please email at kathyrparedes@yahoo.com for the address.
