Peru PTA ESD #124

The Peru PTA is here to help make your back to school supply shopping easy. . .

You know that feeling when the school supply list describes a very specific item that you can’t find ANYWHERE?

This is where you can find it.

Buy everything on the list created by your child’s teacher in just a few clicks. You can finish back-to-school shopping in minutes without leaving your couch.

Find your student’s list at SchoolToolBox.com.

Last night at the PTA meeting, we had the honor of recognizing our two retirees, Mrs. Mata and Mrs. McDonald. 💐✨

Our school, students, and staff have been so fortunate to have two such amazing educators and role models. Your dedication, kindness, and impact on so many lives will truly be missed in the years to come.

We hope you both enjoy your retirement and take time to do all the things that make you happy! ❤️ Next year — and the years following — simply will not be the same without you.

Thank you for everything you have done for our school community. Happy Retirement! 🎉🍎

As the PTA President (and grandmother of 4!) let me share with you what I learned by ordering school supplies through SchoolToolBox.com. You SAVE MONEY!!! It's not the school supplies that cost so much but everything else that is NOT on the list that our students see and want. So do yourself a favor (and the school because we earn dollars on every Toolbox sold) and order your students Toolbox today! Did I mention their supplies are guaranteed? Keep reading. . .

No broken binders, backpacks, or scissors.

When you buy your supplies through School Tool Box, they’re guaranteed to last the full school year, or your replacement is free.

You won’t find a guarantee like that from any discount site. Shop SchoolToolBox.com now.

You could spend hours and energy driving from store to store to find everything on your student’s school supply list. Or you could go to SchoolToolBox.com, order the complete list in one click, and be done in 5 minutes.

🎉 Thank you to everyone who came out and played bingo tonight! We hope you had as much fun as we did!

We also hope everyone made it home safe and sound from the storm! 🌧️

A big shoutout to our announcer and his sidekick, Ken and Michelle—we always love the energy you bring to this event!

Congratulations to Mrs. McDonald, our 50/50 winner! In an incredibly generous gesture, she donated her winnings back to the PTA. This is such exciting news as we prepare for our end-of-year field trip celebrations!

And a special thank you to Debo Ace Hardware for donating the Blackstone grill, which was also happily raffled off tonight!

We truly appreciate the support from our amazing community! 💙
