Parent Groups in the News Round-up 12/17/10
This news round-up can be summed up into two categories; parent groups thinking outside the box and parent groups doing good. Hope you'll find a nugget of inspiration somewhere.
Parent groups thinking outside the box:
- LA School may seek corporate sponsorships as a way to get money into budget-restricted schools.
- Parent groups get creative in addressing lack of funds and a busier-than-ever volunteer pool. Read carefully: you'll find some great words of wisdom in here from PTO Today community member, Gary Parkes.
Parent groups doing good:
- PTA gives school library a makeover.
- School community comes together to spruce up playground.
- PTO kicks off winter break by hosting a winter wonderland breakfast for teachers and staff.
- Kudos to this school for being one of the first to be recognized for making healthy changes.
- Georgia school wins nation-wide coat drive. I end with this link and a line from the article I think you'll all enjoy:
There is nothing more convincing than a PTO mom on a mission. I've seen them in action. They work a little like The Godfather; they'll make you an offer you can't refuse!
Here's to all the PTO & PTA moms & dads making a difference. Wishing you a weekend of holiday happiness with your family and no parent group to-dos!
