You do NOT need to purchase the cards yourselves - PTO will take care of the purchases. To participate, please visit our PTO store (https://Robinson-middle-pto.square.site). Or you may send an envelope to school with marked "PTO Teacher Appreciation" and have your student bring it to the front office. $20 will purchase 1 gift card, but any donation amount is appreciated! All donations will go directly toward Teacher Appreciation. Please note that this program is taking the place of our traditional Adopt-a-Teacher program as we adapt to COVID.
