Top 7 Signs You Might Be a PTO Leader
Rex Bohn
If you need more arms than a starfish, you just might be a PTOer.
1. The principal knows your first name—and tends to avoid you.
2. Cashiers ask how many kids you have because of all the drinks, snacks, school supplies, and paper you buy in bulk.
3. You can change a diaper, do math flash cards, and prepare that night’s meeting agenda all while waiting at the pediatrician’s office.
4. You try to get your book group to follow Robert’s Rules of Order.
5. The janitor gave you the key to the broom closet, and you’re not afraid to use it.
6. Parents have always assumed you were a teacher because you’re at the school so often.
7. A quick stop at the library takes two hours because of all the parents you know from school.
