Mark your calendars, grab a cup of coffee and join us on Zoom for great conversation during our first General PTO meeting of the 2021-2022 school year at 9:30 a.m. Friday, September 17.

This is an excellent opportunity to learn more about the PTO and different ways to get involved in the Kildeer Countryside community! This is our only General PTO meeting until the end of the year, so we hope to see you there!

 

COUGAR CHALLENGE FUN RUN

The Cougar Fun Run is on September 10!

This is always a fun day for the kids to get out and get active! We are still in need of a few more volunteers for this day, so if you want to get involved, please email us! This opportunity is great to be able to see the kids and cheer them on!

Please make sure to send your child to school with comfortable running shoes and a water bottle.  The PTO will be providing each child with bananas after the run.
