The Peotone PTO asked teacher's to provide a 2023-2024 Wish List of items for their classrooms. Please see the message from the PTO and the Wish List link below:
We love our teachers and staff! This list is compiled for the people who like to reward our teachers with a gift at various times throughout the year. This is just a simple way to give you an idea of what they like or prefer to use for their classroom or personal use. Gifts are not expected, but the PTO provides this as a courtesy to parents.

We are looking forward to his message on Monday.
