To P-O Mountie Nation!
The P-O Education Foundation is down to a small number of members. We are in need of new community and business members to help sustain our mission of promoting and supporting all things P-O. The Foundation is a 501 (c) (3) non-profit organization and meets roughly 6-10 times a year, mostly late afternoons. Most of the work involves helping with the annual Keno Beezer Wiffle Ball Classic. Unfortunately, there will not be a Wiffle Ball tournament this year. The Education Foundation is committed to bringing it back bigger and better in 2026. This is mainly where we need help. The Wiffle Ball Classic is our primary fundraiser and allows us to provide scholarships to graduating seniors as well as mini-grants to our teachers! Information about the P-O Education Foundation can be found on the district website.
