GET TO KNOW YOUR PTO!
WHY SHOULD YOU COME TO THE PTO (PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION) MEETINGS?
 YOU ARE ALREADY A MEMBER OF THE PTO!
 Each and every parent of a child in Sweeney Elementary School is a member of the PTO! Your comments and questions are always welcome.
WE NEED NEW PEOPLE AND FRESH IDEAS IN THE PTO!
 Do you have new ideas? Do you have suggestions for the school or PTO? This is your chance to be heard! PTO meetings are a great forum to talk about things. We are always looking for new ideas and feedback.
 We have many committees that are active at different times of the year and require various levels of commitment.
 Come to a meeting and find out what fits your schedule and interests.
MEETINGS ARE YOUR CHANCE TO MEET THE FACULTY
 Various faculty and staff members attend our monthly meetings. They are able to let you know what goes on in your child’s classroom and give you insight on how to make school and learning a great experience.
DO YOU WANT TO KNOW WHERE ALL YOUR FUNDRAISING MONEY GOES?
 The PTO raises over $25,000 each year and only a handful of people decide how it is spent.
 Come to a meeting to help decide what the money is spent on.
 When you have attended 3 meetings you are considered a voting member. As a voting member you can vote on how the money is allocated.
 Even if you can’t vote, come to voice your opinion, so the voting members know what the parents want.
HOW CAN YOU JOIN SWEENEY ELEMENTARY PTO?
 COME TO A MEETING!
 FREE CHILDCARE is provided in the cafeteria by local girl scouts.
 Meetings are held once a month in the music room from 6:30-8:00. Look for our newsletter in the red folders to find out the exact date each month.
 If you can’t attend meetings but still want to be involved with PTO, our newsletter offers volunteer opportunities or contact one of the PTO officers.

COME TO OUR NEXT MEETING AND GET TO KNOW YOUR PTO!
I put together a word doc to try and get more parents involved. I searched this site along with many other PTO sites across the US to create it. I'm not sure how to post it, but you can email me if you want me to send it to you.
