PTN Wreath Sale  

The purpose of our wreath fundraiser is to support the Moretown School PTN general fund. These funds are used to offset the costs of our winter sports program in its fourth year.   The PTN of Moretown School is pleased to be able to assist in providing all students in grades K-6 the experiences of winter sports (cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, downhill skiing or snowboarding) each under the supervision of experienced guides and instructors.  A profit of between $5.00 and $10.00 from each wreath sold goes directly back into the program. 

Thank you for your continued support of our school programs!
