Top 6 TV Characters Who’d Make Great PTO Volunteers
These classic characters will dive right into your volunteer pool, and they're good for a few laughs, too.
1. Shirley Partridge, The Partridge Family: Forget hiring a DJ! This hip mom can rock out all your family dances and teach music at the school, too. You’d probably have to ban her and the rest of her nest from the talent show, though.
2. The Robot, Lost in Space: His built-in “Danger! Danger!” sensor would come in handy when PTO meetings start droning on. Plus, he’d be a whiz at taking minutes.
3. Alice Nelson, The Brady Bunch: With the double oven in the Brady kitchen, she’ll reign supreme as bake sale committee queen. And remember that whistle of hers? We’re pretty sure she’ll take no funny business from kids at recess duty.
4. Clair Huxtable, The Cosby Show: An ace attorney, she’d be a real pro at revising bylaws. And no one can argue a point like Clair, whether it’s the importance of reading or of avoiding junk food.
5. The Professor, Gilligan’s Island: No need to fret if there’s a blackout during Family Movie Night—you have someone who can power the projector from a coconut!
6. Lucy Ricardo, I Love Lucy: You just know she’d do anything for the parent group, from shilling vitamin tonic to stomping grapes in her bare feet. Although she might goof up now and again, you’d always know her heart is in the right place.
