Final Weekend for the Parkston PTO Fundraiser! This is the final weekend to donate through our Omella app and help support the Parkston School District PTO! We’re down to the wire, and right now two families are tied for first place—each having raised $500 toward our goal. These funds directly support the many things PTO provides for our students and families each year—events and opportunities that make a real difference. From Missoula Children’s Theatre, classroom snacks, glow parties, paint nights, and scholarships, to safe after-prom events and more, every dollar raised helps us continue building experiences that bring our school community together. When Monday arrives, we’ll take a look at where we stand and determine what we can keep supporting this year. Please take this weekend to reach out to friends and family and rally one last round of support. Thank you to everyone who has already contributed. Because of you, we can continue our mission of keeping “Family First” at the heart of everything we do.

Trojan Den Donation Needs
The Trojan Den is seeking donations to help meet the needs of our students. We are currently low on the following items and would greatly appreciate any contributions:

Clothing: we went though alot after our last open house!
Sweatpants/Joggers, sizes 4T–10/12 (boys and girls) – nearly out!
Leggings, sizes 4T–10/12 (girls)
Winter jackets, sizes 8/10 and 10/12 (boys and girls)
Shoes (no-tie), child sizes 12C, 1, 2, and 3

Food:
Hamburger tube donations (1–2 lb rolls) – we can assist with cost if a good deal is found.
Meals for weekends – our high school students often stop by to take home items to get through the weekend. Any contributions of meal kits, frozen lasagna, frozen chicken Alfredo, or other freezer-ready meals are extremely helpful. Items to make meals are great if grouped together as many students are just learning to cook!

We have freezer and fridge space available, and meal kits with clear instructions are especially valuable, as many students may be unsure how to prepare the items provided. We are also creating instructional videos on meal preparation, which will be available soon.

Your support directly impacts the well-being of our students and helps ensure they have the clothing and food they need.

For donation drop-offs or questions, please contact colleen.mette@k12.sd.us

We have sent home information for meal help for thanksgiving!

The Junior Class is beginning preparations for this year’s Prom and is seeking help gathering elegant décor items to bring our theme to life.

We would greatly appreciate donations of the following:
• Lace tablecloths, lace curtains, lace fabric (i can dye it if need be)
• White, off-white, taupe, or cream-colored tablecloths and long curtains
• Faux pearls or pearl-style necklaces, old costume jewels
• White or neutral faux flowers and greenery
• Fancy picture frames
• Gold, silver, brass, or antique-style décor
• Battery-operated candles or candelabras
• Feathers and other elegant accent pieces like grasses

Think gatsby meets glam ....meets flowers and softness!

*** searching for working old crystal like chandeliers... if you see anyone selling!

If you have recently hosted a wedding or event and no longer need neutral or classic décor, we would love to give your items a second life. Maybe you’re great at finding deals—by all means, we would love your help as well.

While we are able to purchase some items, donations and community support are a tremendous help and deeply appreciated.

Questions can be directed to Mrs. Mette at colleen.mette@k12.sd.us

Thank you for helping us create a memorable and beautiful evening for our students.
