L'Etoile du Nord French Immersion Parent Teacher Organization

Direct Donation Drive
2023-10-02 - 2023-10-13
Please join us as we work to raise ⭐$13,500 ⭐ The money we raise goes right back to students, teachers, and interns – to help our students become life-long learners who are successful in a global, multilingual community.
The PTO’s largest budget item is our five French-speaking interns!!! Each year we have interns working with our students and teachers. They bring their energy, language, and culture to our school, and help our students learn and grow. The PTO pays for these interns and PTO volunteers make the intern program run.
We have sent home a donation card and envelope with each student. We ask that you complete the card, and return the card and envelope to your student’s classroom by Friday, October 13, 2023. Teachers will have a box to receive completed cards in each classroom.
Merci for your commitment to our students!! Online contributions can be made on paypal: https://www.paypal.com/donate/?hosted_button_id=6AV8YAJR4G5Q6
