Donations accepted through the end of the month.

Submitted release 

Parent Teacher Organizations at Cherry Brook Primary and Canton Intermediate schools are hard at work on their joint Annual Winter Festival Online Auction, which will take place on Feb. 13 to Feb. 27.

Last year’s event raised over $35,000 and the proceeds from this event went to help support students in Grades Pre-K through Sixth. Previous Winter Festivals have allowed for purchases of iPads, smart boards, document cameras, sound systems, science labs and other productivity tools to enhance the children’s learning experience.

This year the Cherry Brook PTO will direct their half towards their playground project.  The Cherry Brook PTO is planning on replacing both the larger and smaller aging wooden playground sets with more modern accessible sets creating an inclusive community playground.

Canton Intermediate School PTO plans to direct their half towards the purchase of additional technology, fund field trips and student enrichment programs.
