Amazing News!!! We believe every Pirate deserves a strong start to the school year—and thanks to the incredible generosity of our Fruitville PTO and Turtles For Tomorrow, that start just became a whole lot easier!

Together, these amazing organizations have donated thousands of dollars in school supplies, providing many of the essential classroom items our students will need this year. Their partnership has significantly reduced the number of supplies families need to purchase, helping make back-to-school season a little easier for everyone.

Thank you, Fruitville PTO, for your unwavering support of our students, staff, and school community.

Thank you, Turtles for Tomorrow, for your remarkable generosity and commitment to removing barriers so every child has the tools they need to succeed.

Please review the attached supply list to see the few grade-level specific items that families will still need to provide.
We are so grateful for a community that continues to invest in our students and demonstrates what it truly means to support public education.

Together, we're helping every Pirate begin the Next Chapter...their Best Chapter!

Before Building 5 sails off into the sunset this summer, we’re giving our students one last chance to leave their mark!

The deadline for order forms has officially been EXTENDED to May 21st! Students can purchase the chance to leave a handprint, signature, stamped shape, or special message on the walls before the building is torn down this summer. Our 5th graders can even send Building 5 off with a SPLAT by purchasing paint balloons!

This fun fundraiser is helping purchase educational programs and tools for our students while creating one final memory in a building that has meant so much to so many. Don’t miss the chance to be part of Fruitville history!
