There are numerous opportunities for parental involvement in the PTO. Being involved in the PTO at any level is a tremendous way to be active in your child’s school. Membership in the PTO is the first step in ensuring that the current PTO sponsored activities remain in place. Parent volunteers are needed for the PTO executive board and committee chairs are needed to preserve activities that the PTO currently offers throughout the school year. We hope you’ll consider participation in the PTO in one of the following roles. PTO Executive Board President & Co-President This is a two year commitment beginning with the 2019-2020 school year. Secretary & Treasurer This is a two year commitment. Whomever takes on these roles would need to shadow the current secretary and treasurer at the end of the 2020 school year. Membership Committee Chairs Dynamite Night – in need a co-chair Winter Activity – we have a chair person & may require a co-chair Cultural Arts – in need of a chair person 7th Grade Activity – covered 8th Grade Activities - covered Staff Appreciation – covered In addition to the Chair & Co-Chair of each committee, parent volunteers are always needed to assist in various capacities for each activity.
