Valentine Grams

Happy Valentine's Day!

We had many members volunteer their time to sell before and after school for an entire week and sold 703 grams!

Then we had members willing to make, bag, staple, and deliver the grams to the recipients!  We are spreading the LOVE at Lake Canyon!

The PTA just enjoys seeing how much our students, parents, and teachers care about each other!

This was such a success that we will be back at it in March to sell Lucky to Know You Grams appropriately titled LUCKY Grams!

We can't wait for the next round!
