They can help set up at a carnival or health fair. They can help teachers and staff by making copies for the class.Just ask the teachers what they need or contact the PTO for additional information.
Teachers & Staff
Teachers and staff become involved by helping to plan events that encourage the education of the students. These may include workshops, tutoring or special family nights (math, science, reading).

The students reap the benefits by the involvement and support of all the adults involved in the PTO.
The PTO supports the educational goals of the school, thus extending those goals to the students.

All meetings are held at the school and everyone is welcome to attendthe meeting.
