The PTO provides for programs designed to enhance each grade’s current curriculum, provides teachers with additional
materials not covered in the school’s budget, and hosts many family-fun and community events.

Next Meeting: Monday May 12th

Don't forget the PTO meeting on Monday!

As usual, it'll be at 6:00 in the Library.  

We'll be electing next year's officers, discussing the early results of the PTO survey (If you haven't done it yet, you can find it here:  https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/F5DNDB2 ), discussing Olympic Day, Teacher Wish Lists, and approving prizes for the May fitness challenge your students have been working on this month.

We had previously discussed having members of the Village Board present to discuss elections in schools.  That ultimately was removed from the agenda because of the joint Village and School Board meeting to discuss the issue that occurred last week.

Questions?  As always, let us know!
