PLANNING COMMITTEE VACANCIES
Please make sure you check in to Membership Toolkit and join one of the PTO planning committees. There are lots of vacancies, and we don’t want to have to cancel events and activities because we are short of volunteers. Sadly, prior years and other district schools have had to cancel opportunities for our kids due to low family involvement. Please get involved, and help the kids and school staff have a more enriching educational experience.
Current vacancies:
o Yearbook - Co-Chair and Committee Members
o Conference Meals – 2 Co-Chairs
o Book Fair – 2 Co-Chairs
o Fall Festival – 2 Co-Chairs and Volunteers
o 5th Grade Party – 2 Co-Chairs
o 5th Grade Night Out – Chair and Members
o End of Year Celebration – 2 Co-Chairs
o Cultural Arts Assemblies
o Science Fair
o Parents Night Out
JOIN YOUR KIDS AT SCHOOL BY VOLUNTEERING
Some of the favorite kids’ experiences hosted by the PTO are Dessert Days and Special Lunch Days. We are finally able to have parents in the building volunteering again, so please make sure you sign up for your volunteering days so you can get your hugs on with your kiddos IN PERSON! Just go to Membership Toolkit and SIGN UP!
Dessert Day and Special Lunch Sign Ups go LIVE on Tuesday at NOON!
Don’t forget that you can also sign up to be a Room Parent and help plan Holiday Parties to be able to spend some time with your kids at school. Party helpers will be able to join as well!
Volunteer sign-up for room parents will go live at NOON on Tuesday, August 17th.
