We will miss you and we will see you all in July! Have a great break!
Hello San Tan Scorpions!
We are so excited to be back in person at San Tan. As your PTO we have been working on getting a new design made for our Friday Spirit Day shirts. With the craziness that has come with this school year, we please ask for your patience and understanding.
We love San Tan and want our Spirit Wear to represent our school pride! PTO is working hard to get them designed and ordered. We were really hoping to have them ready this week, but it is taking a little longer than expected. Everyone is anxious to show their school spirit – so continue to wear blue and/or grey and get a sucker!
Thank you! We’ll be posting a picture of the shirts soon!
San Tan PTO
The 2019-2021 PTO met during the 2020 summer break virtually. Here’s our news!
We voted to fulfill teacher wishlist items specifically related to helping them with distance learning. We were able to help out the teachers because of the fundraiser donations received from families in past school years!
We will put everything else on hold until school resumes in-person. We are ready to hit the ground running whenever we are able. In the mean time we wish all of our San Tan community the very best!
Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week!
Monday 5/4/20 – Friday 5/8/20
Next week is teacher and staff appreciation week. The PTO has some surprises on the way for our teachers and staff, which we will share next week, but we’d also like to encourage you all to join in on the fun! We have selected theme days for next week to show our teachers and staff how much we all love them. Please feel free to be creative on how you choose to participate in these theme days and have fun! Send an email, mail things to the school, create videos, send photos, make art and show it via photo or video (use any contact methods your teachers are using with you). Make it personal it with the Staff Faves book: https://scorpions.digitalpto.com/staff-my-faves-book-2/_
