Message from the PTO:

Families, the Holiday Hullabaloo is tomorrow, December 18th! It will be from 6 to 8 PM, a change from our originally scheduled time. There will be milk & cookies, pictures with Santa, a bounce house, special performances by our choir and dance team, and much more! We will be selling tickets to purchase gift baskets. We accept cash or paypal. You can also bring in a canned good in exchange for a ticket to get popcorn or purchase it for $1 per bag. The weather does call for rain tomorrow, but we still plan to offer train rides so please dress accordingly. We are so excited to celebrate together! Thank you for continuing to support our school and students. If you have any questions or concerns, please do not hesitate to contact us at florenceelementarypto.ky@gmail.com.
