News from East's PTO

October was a busy month. Thank you to all the staff and volunteers that helped to make it successful! Some days and nights were very long and your dedication to our school is truly admirable. A special thank you to our PTO Volunteer Coordinator, Michele Gonyea. Not only does she take on requesting and coordinating volunteers, but she steps in time and again wherever we may fall short.

Thank you and enjoy the long weekend!
