Final Weekend for the Parkston PTO Fundraiser! This is the final weekend to donate through our Omella app and help support the Parkston School District PTO! We’re down to the wire, and right now two families are tied for first place—each having raised $500 toward our goal. These funds directly support the many things PTO provides for our students and families each year—events and opportunities that make a real difference. From Missoula Children’s Theatre, classroom snacks, glow parties, paint nights, and scholarships, to safe after-prom events and more, every dollar raised helps us continue building experiences that bring our school community together. When Monday arrives, we’ll take a look at where we stand and determine what we can keep supporting this year. Please take this weekend to reach out to friends and family and rally one last round of support. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. Because of you, we can continue our mission of keeping “Family First” at the heart of everything we do.
