PTO

From awesome new spirit wear, the opening of the Libby Local and spooky Halloween Grams to PTO meeting dates, 8th Grade Celebration committee positions and a No-hassle Fundraiser, we're working behind the scenes to make sure all Libby students feel connected, engaged and supported. We're ready to make this an amazing year!
