It has been another great year at Peaslee

It has been another great year at Peaslee. We appreciate all the efforts made in the past to provide necessary funding and assistance in very challenging economic times. We have helped produce some great memories for our kids. The PTO needs lots of help in many areas throughout the year. Our school community is full of parents with diverse, valuable skills and there are lots of opportunities to contribute.

1) JOIN A PTO TEAM. Please see the attached list of 2011-2012 PTO Teams for the upcoming school year (with some new and exciting choices!). Please indicate where your interest lies and which team or teams you’d like to assist. Showing an interest as a team member does not commit you to any event. Team coordinators will work with members and determine availability, needs and interest.

2) BECOME A PTO CLASSROOM REP. At a classroom level, another new and exciting option we’d like to try this year is having PTO Classroom Representatives (2 per class would be ideal). PTO reps can aide in class level projects like box tops, teacher appreciation, photo coordination, kids fair raffle baskets, etcetera. Having 2 Reps in each class will also greatly facilitate communication between families, teachers and the PTO and can be an easy way to get involved with a class friend and share the wealth! More details to follow depending on interest.

3) COORDINATE (OR CO-CORDINATE) A TEAM. Looking for ways to get even more involved and contribute your leadership and organizational skills? There are several areas needing a team coordinator next year. We especially need a Kids Fair Team Coordinator, a Year Book coordinator, 2 or 3 additional members for the Enrichment Team, and a Fund Raising Team and coordinator.

We understand that in today’s world of conflicting priorities, dual income families and crazy schedules, time is precious and limited. The more help each team receives, the more we can accomplish on behalf of our children. Imagine what we could achieve together if every family signed up to help on at least one team and one event! Thanks for your continued support
