Where would we be without this awesome group of dedicated teachers?!
To show our appreciation, we’re doing a little something special for them each month of the school year. Keep reading to see what we’ve done and what’s coming up. Sign-up links and additional information will be posted about each event as we get closer to the date of the event.
Thanks so much to all the volunteers who help make this possible. And, of course, thanks to you awesome teachers who somehow manage to not only contain our children for the entire day but to teach them as well. Impressive to say the least.

We really do have some of the absolute best teachers and staff at our schools. To show them how much we appreciate everything they do for our students and our community as a whole, we’ll be doing a Holiday Cheer Cart the week of December 13th. PTO members and volunteers will fill a cart up with all sorts of goodies for the teachers and staff, and then they’ll visit the different teachers and staff members throughout the day to offer various treats from their cart.
Thank you!

A Blast From the PTO in Years Past
March 2020
We held this month’s event during our parent-teacher conference day. The teachers stay late on these days so that parents have evening hours available for conferences. We asked our amazing PTO parents to help make or buy some goodies for our teachers during these long conference days. Unfortunately, we don’t have a picture. This was one of the last days of school and everything got a little hectic.
February 2020
We spread the “love” (see what we did there – February, love?) to our support staff: aides, custodians, nurses, guidance, office staff, cafeteria workers, and everyone else who helps create a safe and nurturing environment for our kiddos each day.
- New adult-sized winter gloves, hats, scarves, and umbrellas.
- New and used coat racks/umbrella holders to store items for our amazing aides.
- New stickers and small prizes for the nurses’ offices for students who lose a tooth/endure an injury.
- New size 5T through adult medium pants, shirts (short and long-sleeve), and underwear. Used/extra coats, gloves, hats, boots, and sneakers.
January 2020
We helped our teachers come back with a fresh start for the new year. The PTO collected personal items for staff bathrooms, workrooms, and lounges.
Items we collected:
- lint rollers
- safety pins
- tide pens
- cough drops
- contact solution
- eye drops
- chapstick
- hairspray
- lotion
- tampons
- Advil
- Tylenol
- antacids
- soap dispensers
- poop-ari
- band-aids
- mouthwash
- hair ties
- floss
- nail files
- sewing kits
December 2019
Baby, it’s cold outside – so inside our elementary schools, we served up warm treats for our wonderful educators.
November 2019
November means the end of the first trimester and Parent-Teacher Conferences! Our dedicated teachers stay late in order to offer conference times that will work for all family situations. To show our thanks for their flexibility, we put together a nice meal for the teachers to enjoy in the midst of all the conference craziness.
October 2019
We filled our faculty rooms with delicious Halloween candy – who says Halloween is just for the kids?
