What Is Race for Education?
During the school day, students will walk, jog, skip, or run around a short outdoor course while getting active, having fun, and supporting their school!
Funds raised will support academic enrichment, PSE community events, graduation celebrations, extracurricular activities, and so much more.

- Donate or create your own campaign: Visit our Race for Education page to learn more, make a donation, or set up a personalized fundraising campaign to help us reach our $5,000 goal! Can we achieve the goal? Yes we can but only through our collective efforts.
Every bit of support makes a difference for our Bluebirds. Donate $25, $50, $100 or any amount you are most comfortable with! Spread the word and thank you for helping make this year's race a success!

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our first PTA meeting during Back-to-School Night on Tuesday, September 15! It was a wonderful start to the year, and we’re so grateful for everyone who took the time to be there.
A quick highlight from the meeting: the PTA truly cannot do what we do without our Pot Spring families. Whether you volunteer your time, become a PTA member, or make a donation, every contribution makes a difference; especially this year when donations are getting harder to come by.
As your PTA, we work to support special events and programs like the highly anticipated Spring Fling (so much fun!), Race for Education, 5th Grade Graduation and celebrations (tears!), Teacher Appreciation Week (so many smiles), the Bluebird Shop (excitment all around), book drives (get those brains going!), and so so many other things that help make our school AMAZING.
This year, we truly need your support whether that’s your time, your talent, or a donation in whatever amount feels most comfortable for your family. It’s through our collective efforts that we can continue creating the warm, welcoming community we love at Pot Spring and help nurture the whole child during these important early years. Thank you for being part of our Bluebird community!
