Summer PTO School Supplies and Movie Tickets

We will still be selling Paramount movie tickets (12 movies for $8) and school supplies over the summer. Ticket sales will be all summer long. School supply sales will end June 30th. Either drop off your order at school (call to see if anyone is there) or email ammonpto@gmail.com for my address to mail orders to. I can mail out your movie tickets, drop them off at school for pickup or meet you somewhere.

Rachel's Challenge Rally

Thank you to Mrs. Michael for working so hard on Ammon's chain of kindness.
The kids have been adding links daily since the beginning of the year, the result
is a very long chain that reaches around the school. Thanks to The Idaho Dairymen's
Association for donating some very tasty ice-cream to the entire school for the rally!
