Well Dolphins - here we go! It's the start of the 2020 school year, and I bet none of us EVER thought it would look like this. 2020 has been a roller coaster to say the least, and I don't know about you, but I'm about ready to get off the ride. The twists and turns we've all experienced throughout this pandemic have been some of the scariest and stressful times I can remember. As we enter this new school year of social distancing, mask-wearing, and virtual (or not?) learning, I want you to know that your PTO is committed. While our events may shift and look different this year, our support for our teachers, staff, and students will not. We are committed to being positive representatives of our school, volunteering where needed, and loving on our Dogwood family as much as possible. We hope you will support our efforts by joining the PTO and volunteering along with us when needed. If you have any questions about the PTO or our events/programs/activities, please email me. I look forward to serving as your PTO Pandemic President! Karen Viotti PTO President |
