shortage of inspiration in this week's news.  Here are my take-aways from this collection of articles:

  • Not only is a jog-a-thon a great fundraiser but it's also a terrific way to encourage families to get moving and make healthy choices.

  • Family Fun days are a excellent way to build community while showing parents how to make learning more fun.

  • Never, ever give up. This parent group's turn around story offers hope for groups with low involvement.

  • Sometimes some of the most basic things require a parent group's attention... in this case, a PTO rallied support for a walk-to-school program.

  • Parent groups have an opportunity to influence their community in their green living habits. Kudos to this PTO for challenging families to go "garbage free."

  • Think beyond fundraising- think pink! This PTA organized a pink day to highlight breast cancer awareness.

  • Always love coming across articles about events that were inspired by our PTO Today Magazine... this giant hay maze sounds like a fun, fall event!


Hope you found something to inspire you. Have a fabulous weekend. Don't forget to send me a link to any articles about your parent group!
