The PTO is looking toward the Christmas Bazaar to be held on Thursday and Friday, Dec. 7 and 8. This is one of the few fundraisers the PTO completes during the school year.
Each elementary student is given an opportunity to shop for their family, where all items cost $1.
The group is asking for donations of gift bags, bows, and items for the bazaar, as well as new and gently used items. Men’s items are always in demand.
Donations can be left at the elementary office during the school day. Contact them through Facebook or email, pto@eastonschools.org.
The Scholastic Book Fair is coming: check the school website and PTO Facebook page for dates of availability. The book fair will be open to the public during the Easton Craft Fair on Saturday, Dec. 2.
