PTO Events and Fundraisers

​The fundraisers below support the PTO’s budget. We don’t expect families to participate in every fundraiser, but we hope this information will help you determine which events best fit your interests, so that you can make plans to support them if you so choose.

​2023 Maskenball & Auction

Maskenball is on Saturday March 25th and the auction will be happening online so you will not have to attend the event to take part in the auction but of course we would love it if you did! With that in mind - we want you to start thinking of all of those amazing items and events that you can donate to the Auction! We're talking delicious food, amazing art and crafts, great group events and more. Start brainstorming and more information will be out soon!

The funds we raise from this and last year's Maskenball will update and reinvigorate our playground.

Halloween

The PTO held its third Halloween Event on October 29, 2022.
Born out of the desire for a safe community event amid a pandemic where distance learning and social distancing was our norm, this fun tradition has continued! An amazing group of parent volunteers and TCGIS Staff volunteer to pass out candy to the kids.  Anyone can sign up to host and decorate a treat table.
​We're already looking forward to next year's event!

Simpls Soups

Every year we partner with local company Simpls Soups for one of our tastiest Fundraisers. The 2022 sale was held from November 16th to December 14th.
