We can earn $15 per person who downloads the Box Tops app and scans their first receipt TODAY. Plus $5 more if they link their Walmart account. Are all of you signed up? It’s SO easy, and while the actual receipt scanning doesn’t earn PTO much, these referral bonuses they offer are real, easy money!

School is out and summer is officially here! Before you head off on your summer adventures, we have one quick favor to ask! If you haven’t already, please take a few minutes to complete the PTO survey about committees and volunteer opportunities for next year.

Thank you for your continued support of our PTO. We can’t wait to see what we accomplish together next year!

Please fill out this form if you are interested in being on a PTO planning committee for the upcoming school year. (There will be opportunities later to volunteer for the events themselves. This is for helping to plan and coordinate the events!)

Your generosity and dedication make a tremendous difference in our school. Because of your support, we are able to provide meaningful opportunities and resources that benefit both our students and staff throughout the year. Thank you for partnering with us to create memorable experiences and support our amazing school. We are so grateful for our Orchard community!
