Hello parents!!
We want to be in the community so that we can increase the awareness of ACS. We lined up community awareness activities every month!!
Another thing we want to focus on is how parents can help. I think lots of parents want to help but honestly just don't know how and where they can add value. We have come up with a list of things we want to do this year and want everyone to consider how they might help. Some people might be able to do one thing but do it really well while others might be able to sign up for everything. Every little bit will make a huge difference I promise.
To do some of the things that we want to do, we will obviously have to have some money. We do not want to take out of the operating account of the school so the way the PTO will be funded is through small fundraisers like boxtops for education, Tyson Project A+, Office Depot 5% back program, goodsearch.com etc. See link here to Recycling items for funds.
At the meetings we have sign up sheets for:
If you haven't already done so, please let me know where you would like to be plugged in.
Mark your calendars for the 2010-2011 school year meetings!! We meet the second Tuesday of the month at 7pm-8pm.
The purpose of the PTO is to make ACS a better place for our kids to come to school, a better place for our teachers to come to work and if we accomplish both of those - well... I think we have done our job. Meetings will be on the second Tuesday of every month at 7:00 in the fellowship hall. We will do our best to stick to 1 hour. The format will be round table so that we can openly discuss what we are working on, new ideas, what is working, what is not working and just bounce ideas off of each other.
