Seeking Grade Level Parent Potluck Hosts for 3rd & 4th Grades

Dates to be based on the host's schedule. Parents are asked to bring a potluck dish or drinks, so the hosts are not responsible for feeding everyone. Principal Lopez and the teachers of each grade level will be invited. This is a great way to get to know fellow parents and students' new teachers for the year!

Please reach out to Jaime at Community@polarispto.com if you have any questions or want to host.
