The Chapel District PTO is working hard for you!

ANGEL TREE:  The PTO works with school administrators to have an angel tree in the lobby during the holidays.  The families remain confidential and the PTO collects gift items and food boxes to donate to families in need in our school community.  This year's angel tree will be in the school lobby from December 4-14, 2011.

MOVIE NIGHT:  This is part of our Family Fun Night committee and is an activity that we brought back last year to a resounding success!    Bring your blankets and your chairs, absolutely bring the kids because it is all about family.  Concessions will be available at family friendly prices, we look forward to bringing our Chapel family members out for a great family time together.

SERVICE AUCTION & DINNER:  This is an event that the PTO hosts every other year!  This has proved to be a fun and creative fundraiser.  Last years proceeds benefited our students through the purchase of 5 new mats for our gymnasium.  Rave reviews came in about the food which was an all you can eat buffet for $5 a person.  No service is unappreciated.  Individuals and businesses offer up services for auction.  There is a value and minimum bid assessed and let the bidders go wild.  This is a newer event for Chapel if you have any questions or would like to make a contribution please contact Liz Connelly at (410) 770-3991.
