PTO Committees
Art Appreciation: Plan and run a hands-on activity for one day during the spring. The activity allows students to experience fine arts through questions and discussion. May complete some planning outside school hours.

Birthday Books: Help to promote literacy by purchasing and wrapping books for the principal to give each child on his or her birthday or half birthday. Flexible hours.
Leapin' Into Literature: Read chosen books to first grade students once a week during the month of February as an alternative to students going outside for recess. (Siblings welcome)
Learning Resource Center (LRC): Help students find books they are interested in, read books to classes, check books in and out, and shelve books as they are returned. During school hours.
LRC - Book Fair: Assist students and parents in selecting and purchasing books during the LRC Book Fair in November. Day and evening hours are available. Many volunteers are needed both day and evening.
Reading Incentives: Coordinate reading programs throughout the year by collecting reading logs on a monthly basis and organizing prizes (e.g., “Book It” program) Can be completed outside school hours.
