Thank you to the 4th grade classes for sending snacks in to help fill the basket in the office. This basket is filled with treats and snacks for our faculty and staff as a little thank you for all that they do. If you would like to donate any items, please drop them off in the office and mention that they are for the teachers. Items need to be individually wrapped, think lunchbox size snacks. They need to be able to grab them on the go.
 
Suggested list of snacks:
Cookies
Granola bars
Fruit - apples, bananas, oranges
Pop Tarts
Chips/Pretzels/Crackers
Coffee K-cups
Gallon jugs of water (to be used for coffee)
Cereal or Fruit bars
Trail mix or nuts
Candy
**Kind bars or gluten free snack (We do have some gluten allergies.)

How can you be involved?
 
All parents are a part of our PTO! Volunteering with the Elon PTO is a great way to be involved with the students and teachers at our school. You can show your support for our school by participating in fundraising activities and volunteering at PTO sponsored events. Anyone wishing to volunteer or chaperone must complete a background check prior to volunteering. We strongly suggest doing this as soon as possible as it can take at least six weeks to complete. You can have this done at no charge at:
 
                                            Amherst County Public Schools
                                                     School Board Office
                                               Office of Human Resourses
                                                  153 Washington Street
                                                      Amherst, VA 24521
                                                          (434) 946-9376
 
There are also many ways you can volunteer from home!  Ask a teacher or a board member today how you can help.
