Welcome Back Picnic

Treasurer’s Report
-PTG is charged a $10.00 fee for all returned checks.
-Please put any check requests in office and it is usually a 3-5 day turn around.
-Many donations have been received so far. The donation option is a direct result of the PTG survey as
many people requested this as an alternative to fundraising.
New Out of School Policy

due to a state attendance policy.
