WE WANT YOU!
What does this mean to your family? It means that we, as an organization, are continually looking for ways to enhance your family's experience at Central City Elementary school.
Your PTO is not about meetings, we are a hands on organization. Last year, we helped all the students show our teachers how important they are through two group craft projects, added fun to school Fridays with "Green & Gold Days" and pep rallies, helped organize the very popular Grandparents' Day, and worked with our local library to create a fantastic Summer Reading Program. We believe that the smiles, excitement, and learning that resulted from these programs complement and enhance the experience for all those at Central City Elementary.
Some of our projects are modest, like giving small potted flowers as thanks to our paraprofessionals. Others are tremendous, like fundraising for, purchasing, and installing new permanent playground activities. All the things we do require some amount of time, effort, and money.
We believe that each of our projects is important. We hope that your family has seen the fun and benefit from the projects mentioned above, and others like Literacy Night and Play Day In the Park. We ask for you to join us.
Bring your ideas, bring your talents, bring your passion. We can use you!
For some families, this may mean simply supporting our fund-raisers. For others, it can mean
providing snacks or volunteering in your child’s classroom. Perhaps you are able to attend monthly meetings, chair a fundraising or event committee, or serve on our Board. Your availability and imagination are the only limitations to your involvement.
Do a little, do a lot, just do something!
