November 14 - 18, 2022
As we settle into the seasonal change and cooler temperatures this month, we are reminded to have gratitude for what a remarkable school Matoska International is.

In an effort to give back to the exceptional teachers and staff who invest in our students, the Matoska International Parent Teacher Organization (MIPTO) has organized the 2022 Gratitude and Giving Drive. We are asking families to participate in gratitude activities and, for those who are able, to financially give during the drive.

The goal for the school year is to raise $10,000 to support:
  1. Our school-wide collage and art installation project set for later this year
  2. Provide funds for Lakeshore Players youth theater programs at Matoska 
  3. Classroom budgets that our wonderful teachers depend on. 

This is an important school fundraiser; last year, funds from the Gratitude and Giving Campaign were used, in part, to replace the beloved school playground canoe and purchase items to extend Matoska's Makerspace outdoors.
