Stanford Montessori PTO

Teacher appreciation luncheons have been a Stanford Montessori tradition for several years now.   If you have not been involved in the past, this is a great way to earn 3 volunteer hours and show our teachers how wonderful we think they are.  This year we are going to shake things up a little by assigning each month to a small group of classrooms.  The theme and date for each luncheon have been selected and are listed at the bottom of the page.  Contact parents for each homeroom will work together to get parent volunteers to cover food donations, paper goods, and set up/clean up duties.  Each homeroom will only be assigned to one month for the entire school year!  Please consider volunteering for this event.  It is an easy way to get some volunteer hours, especially if you have a busy work schedule.   Look for more information about teacher appreciation luncheons when it is your month to host.

THANK-YOU,
Wendy Crow, Stacie Frye and Linda Butts

Our PTO provides a forum where we can all join together to support Stanford Montessori by providing volunteers to the students, teachers and students to enhance the quality of the educational experience of all Stanford Montessori students.
Through our parents’ support and involvement, our PTO raises funds to purchase additional resources for our classrooms and library and to provide continued Montessori education for our wonderful teachers.
Equally important, our PTO-sponsored family events provide the opportunity for students, parents, teachers, and friends to participate in a caring and sharing environment to show support for our school and the community.
Please share your areas of expertise with us and join our PTO today!
We need assistance with these two immediate vacancies:

1. Assistant Treasure: Responsible for supporting the treasurer with all financial transactions for the PTO. ALso responsible for money collection and counting for school fundraising and social events.
2. “Painless” Fundraising Coordinator: Work with committee chair on researching, implementing, and educating our families on programs that offer “free fundraising” dollars back to our school (i.e. Food Lion, Kroger, Upromise, etc.).
