Thank You for Supporting our Teachers!

A huge thank-you to everyone who donated snacks and treats during parent-teacher conference week! Your generosity helped make the week extra special for our amazing teachers. We truly couldn’t have done it without our wonderful Plavan families! Thank you for showing our staff how much they’re appreciated!

Thank you to everyone who supported PTO by purchasing items during our Charleston Gift Wrap Fundraiser. We earned $2,833.70! These funds will benefit our students in the form of field trips/transportation, assemblies, and enriching educational programs. 

While our fundraiser has ended, you can still place orders to support our school! Please note that any new purchases won’t be included in student prize calculations.

Clean out those closets and help support our school! We’re collecting gently used clothing, shoes, linens, and other soft goods for our fundraiser. Multiple drop-off dates are available. Please click the flyer for the full schedule and a list of accepted items. Every bag donated helps raise funds for our Outdoor Ed program.

🎬 We’re looking for a Movie Night Chair! 🍿

Our PTO is looking for someone to take the lead on our school movie nights!

The Movie Night Chair helps oversee the event — picking the movie (in partnership with our PALS program), submitting the facilities form to the district, and making sure everything runs smoothly the night of the event.

All dates are already set, and our Outdoor Education Committee will be handling food sales. This role is all about coordination and bringing the fun!

If you’re organized, enjoy planning events, or just love a good movie night, we’d love to have you join the team!

🎥 Interested? Email president@plavanpto.org to learn more!

There are so many ways to get involved and support our school! Volunteering doesn’t always mean big commitments. It can be as simple as calling or emailing local businesses for donations, making copies, or helping with small tasks that make a big difference. We encourage you to check out our website for current volunteer opportunities and see how you can lend a hand. Please remember that all volunteers must be cleared through the front office if they are going to be working on campus.
