Matoska Gratitude & Giving/Give to the Max 2024

This month, we’re all about gratitude and giving! We want to bring parents, students, and friends together to show some love for our amazing teachers and staff with kind notes and gestures. 

Our goal? To create a vibe of appreciation while helping us meet our goal of $5000 to directly support Matoska’s field trip programs to have 200 leaves on our giving tree (located outside the cafeteria) filled with expressions of gratitude from November 11th to November 22nd.

The PTO also helps fund Enrichment Activities like children's theater, the art enrichment program, additional support for classrooms and staff, including IB Development, Media Literacy support, and staff appreciation.

By participating in "Gratitude and Giving," you’re helping us keep these fantastic experiences available for our students. Let’s work together to show our appreciation and make Matoska a warm and inspiring place for our kids. Every contribution matters, so thank you for being part of this meaningful month for our school community!

The International Baccalaureate® aims to develop inquiring, knowledgeable and caring young people who help to create a better and more peaceful world through intercultural understanding and respect.

To this end the organization works with schools, governments and international organizations to develop challenging programmes of international education and rigorous assessment.

These programmes encourage students across the world to become active, compassionate and lifelong learners who understand that other people, with their differences, can also be right.
