Teachers
Dear Athens Staff,
Thank you for considering sponsoring the PTO this year. We have given a lot of thought about how to best support you during this unprecedented school year. Our decision was to not ask you to donate to the PTO this year. As a result, we will be altering the teacher grant request program. Please stay tuned for further information.
For now, please know that we are grateful for your continued commitment to our students, families and community! We will do everything we can to continue to support you!
With Gratitude,
The Athens PTO Board – Danielle, Tricia, Colleen, Kim and Kristin
