It's not too late to sign up for POE SOCIALS!

Poe Socials are organized by the Poe PTO for people to socialize and raise money for the school. All proceeds go to Poe. Normally, when we have a Socials Chairperson, we hold socials all year long. This year, the Auction Committee worked with parents and teachers to offer them using the Poe Auction website. Some are for certain grade levels. Some are adults only. Some are hosted by teachers. Some are To Be Decided on a date, but the hosts will contact you to make it work. Some are a Poe tradition, like Dogs on Deck with the Principal!

Upcoming Socials with open spots:

Apr 20: Picnic at the Menil with Ms. Riggs and Ms. Salinas!

May 2: Dad's Poker Night!

May 6th: Just Dance Glow Fiesta! with Ms. Ramos, Ms. Monge, Ms. Reyes, and Ms. Medina

May 7: Shaving Cream War with Ms. KM, Ms. Harris, and Ms. Stout! #1

May 9: Shaving Cream War with Ms. KM, Ms. Harris, and Ms. Stout! #2
