PTG Information
Fall Conference Meals
Fall conferences are on Tuesday, Oct. 17th & Thursday, Oct. 19th. The teachers go straight from a day of teaching to conferences. The PTG provides dinner on both nights to ensure teachers have a good meal & to show our appreciation. PTG provides the main course & we ask our PTG families to volunteer to provide the sides, desserts & drinks. On Tuesday the teachers are having submarine sandwiches. On Thursday they are having soup & salad. Please consider donating for one or both nights. It can be homemade or store-bought. If you don't have time & would prefer to just send in money, a check, or a Kroger gift card, that works too! Send to school, addressed to "Kramer PTG Conference Meals".
Please read the Signup Genius to see what we need. https://www.signupgenius.com/go/10C0949AFAC23ABF58-44967542-fall#/
Thank you as always for your support of our Kramer staff & the PTG! If you have any questions, please contact Molly Farler, kramerptg@gmail.com.
