We hope you can join us for the first PTO meeting of the year, which is this week on Thursday, September 6 at 6:30 in the Library/Media Center on the second floor. As always, free child care is provided.

This month we will focus on a back-to-school update from Principal Hodge and a review of the PTO budget, which is presented for a vote by the general membership. There will be a presentation of the capability of Elmo Document Cameras, which are an item for the PTO to purchase this year.

We hope to see you there. If you are unable to attend and would like to discuss anything on the agenda, please contact Laura Crawford at lauracrawford47@gmail.com, Jodie Ackerman at jodiepto@yahoo.com, or any of the other PTO board members (click here for contact info).
