🦦 Introducing something NEW this year… Random Acts of Otter Appreciation! 💛

Throughout the school year, we’ll be surprising our amazing elementary school staff with little acts of appreciation at random times! Because the people who do so much for our kids deserve a little extra love, too! 🥰

Our FIRST Random Act of Otter Appreciation is happening this coming Monday, October 19th! 🎉

We reached out to Mother, Goose & Bean’s to see if they would be willing to help us treat our elementary school staff, and not only did they say YES, but they are generously donating ALL of the kettle corn! 😍🍿 Enough kettle corn to treat 200 staff members across our elementary schools!

We are SO thankful for local businesses like Mother, Goose & Bean’s who show up for our schools and help us make our staff feel special. Thank you for helping us kick off this new tradition in such a BIG way! ❤️

Stay tuned for more Random Acts of Otter Appreciation! 🦦💛

We had an absolutely great day yesterday ending a record breaking fundraising week to support our students! With the generosity of our community and beyond we were able to raise $61,000 to provide experiences and so much more to students in K-5. Thank you all!

The top classes in each grade also got the privilege to pie their teacher! This morning we did Kindergarten, 1st, 2nd and 3rd. Next week will be grades 4th and 4th.

Thank you to everyone for supporting the Otter PTO and students in grades K-5.
