PTO Presidents' Notes

Dear Bear Tavern Families, 


As the school year comes to a close, we want to take a moment to sincerely thank each and every one of you for the support of the PTO. 


Because of the generosity and enthusiasm supporting our many fundraisers and the annual appeal, we were able to provide our students with …


  • Field Trips 

  • Assemblies

  • Author Visit 

  • BT T-shirts

  • The Innovation Expo

  • Teacher Reimbursements for books and classroom supplies

  • Mini Grant for our music teachers to purchase wireless microphones

  • Alumni Scholarships

  • Popsicles for Field Day


We are so grateful for the strong sense of community that makes Bear Tavern such a special place. It has been such a joy working together to support our students, teachers, and staff. We couldn't have done it without you!


We wish all of our families a safe, relaxing and fun filled summer. We look forward to another great year ahead!


With appreciation, 

Caitlin and Erica
