O
Our scheduled March PTO meeting coincided with Read Across America. We put on a Bedtime Story Night for the kids while parents attended the meeting. Parents were welcomed into the building and they went to the gym to drop off their children for Story Night and, if they wanted to, proceeded to our library to the PTO meeting. Kids were treated to very special guest readers, fun craft activities, and milk and cookies. We enlisted our local Target store’s volunteers to help us execute the literacy event, and even our district’s superintendent was a guest reader! We had about five new parents at the PTO meeting and two teachers who hadn’t been to meetings in a long time. We got great feedback, and they liked being informed and getting information about what would be going on in the spring.
