Top o’ the morning’ to ya Dolphins! Only a few more days until our St. Patrick’s Day Dance! With that being said, we need some help from YOU!! KM PTO is asking for baked good donations which will be sold at the dance. We are looking for items such as cookies, brownies, cupcakes, Rice Krispie Treats, dipped pretzels, or cake pops. They can be either homemade or store bought. #learnleadsucceedbpd3 #MakingWavesatKM

Baked good donations can be brought in with your student or dropped off before the dance. All proceeds earned will go to the KM PTO to help fund future events. With your help we can make this dance a success.
