By SUBMITTED REPORT

The Crystal Lake Elementary School District 47 Board recognized members of the PTO during its meeting Monday for their fundraising efforts during the 2017-18 school year.

In total, PTOs/PTAs, including groups for Wehde Early Childhood Center and Crystal Lake Friends of Gifted Education, raised $311,310.

Although PTO/PTA funds are allocated differently at each school, the dollars raised help fund field trips, author visits and other school events, and aid in buying library books and resources, classroom-specific supplies and building playground equipment.

“We greatly appreciate what our parent groups do for our schools,” board President Rob Fetzner said. “Their tireless efforts benefit both current and future District 47 students.“
