Monthly Staff Breakfast

 

Calling all KINDERGARTEN FAMILIES! April is your month to treat the staff to breakfast for their monthly meeting. This month we’d like to treat the staff to a Muffin Madness breakfast. Last month asking for donations went so well, we’d like to make it easy for you! Any monetary donations starting at $1 will go directly toward purchasing a variety of breakfast treats for our amazing staff. Your contribution, no matter how big or small, will make a difference! Thank you for helping us show our appreciation!

Please feel free to contact Kristen Chevalier, secretary1@dranesvillepta.com with any questions.

Monetary donations can be made at this link - Please be sure to mark your donation “kindergarten breakfast”:
