The PTO has been hard at work all summer, and we are looking forward to a busy school year as well. The PTO is built upon the efforts of our teacher and parent volunteers, and I'm looking forward to welcoming new members this year, as well as reaquainting with old friends. Every parent or guardian is a member of PTO, how active a member you become is up to you. Whether you attend our meetings, or volunteer some time to help with an event, all efforts are appreciated. Well, that's about all for my "sales-pitch", but I do hope that you consider being a part of PTO.
