PTCO BAKE SALE FUNDRAISER THIS FRIDAY 
As part of PTCO's mission to support teachers we are teaming up with friends and family of Eliza Elkington, 1st grade teacher at Laie, to help publicize a benefit bake sale to support Eliza's sister. Her sister tragically lost her husband and few weeks ago and being pregnant and sick she is currently without means of financial support.  Eliza's friends and students invite everyone to donate baked-goods or come to the sale!  Sometimes the support we give each other outside of school is just as important as the support we give at school.   

If you would like to donate baked-goods, email Nisi Uyehara at uyeharav@gmail.comThe bake sale will be held Friday February 4th at the Crismon home, across the street from the school on Iosepa St. near the cross walk.  Set-up will be at 1:45, and the bake sale will start at 2:10 p.m.
