Top 5 Gadgets Every PTO Officer Should Have
Vital tools for parent leaders, just begging to be invented.
1. Shoe phone: Stomping the left heel dials your volunteer coordinator, while clicking both heels together texts “911” to your PTO fairy godmother.
2. All-in-one lipstick, pen, and stain eraser: A tool that helps you look great, record minutes, and get the ink spot off your treasurer’s blouse—who says you can’t have it all?
3. Spy gear: A lapel pin with facial recognition software that works with a hidden earpiece, feeding you the name of a parent along with his hobbies and volunteer interests.
4. In-car coffee maker: When your kids are running late for school and you have a to do list a mile long, there’s just no time to stop at Starbucks.
5. Mary Poppins’ carpet bag: It’s the only thing that could possibly hold your PTO notebook, the potted plants you’re giving to teachers, and a dozen tissue boxes for the boohoo breakfast.
