Central DeWitt PTO & The Education Foundation of Central DeWitt were happy to welcome them back with a little Fizz and Freeze 🥤🍧 to help keep their energy up as they prepared for Unpack Your Backpack Night!

A little cool, sweet & fizzy treat for the people working hard behind the scenes to get everything ready for our students and families. 📚✏️

We loved getting this sweet thank you from them! 💜💛

Here’s to a great school year! 🎉

🎬🍿 One Last Blast! 🍿🎬

We were happy to treat the students at Ekstrand Elementary to a special end-of-the-year outing at the DeWitt Operahouse Theatre to watch Swapped!

Each student also enjoyed a popcorn treat while taking in the movie, making the experience even more fun.

Being able to sponsor experiences like this is one of our favorite things to do. These special events give students a chance to make lasting memories with their classmates and celebrate the end of another wonderful school year together.

Thank you for supporting the Central DeWitt PTO and helping us create opportunities that make a difference for our students. 💜💛

The outpouring of photos from our staff with their “Tatt the Staff” tattoos was just too good not to share! 💜 We loved seeing all the smiles, laughs, and fun connections made throughout Teacher Appreciation Week. These moments are what make the end of the school year so special!

Thank you to our amazing families and community for supporting events like this. Because of your generosity, we’re able to provide extra fun opportunities for our students and staff from field trips and assemblies to special activities that create lasting memories. We truly couldn’t do it without you! ✨
