Get Involved
Volunteers are the key to the PTO's success. It's a great opportunity to meet and make friends with other parents. It's exciting to see families and students having fun at events you helped plan and make a success.
If you are a parent of a student at Liberty Elementary School, you are already a member of the PTO and we would love for you to consider volunteering this year! We meet every other month and all are invited to attend. Other opportunities are below:
AMAZON SMILE - Whenever you or your family shops on Amazon, use Amazon Smile. Register our school as the business you Support, and Liberty will get a percentage of your purchase back. "Liberty Elementary Parent Teacher Organization Carpentersvle, IL" http://smile.amazon.com/ch/04-3664450
Box Tops - Clip Box Tops from your favorite products and send them to school with your child. Last year, we raised almost $3,000!!! Please use the Box Top Forms included in Tuesday Folder emails or available here in the File Cabinet. Please only tape or glue (no staples) the box tops to the form. There will be classroom competitions all year long for pizza or ice cream parties!!! Please contact Kathy Lawton at katlaw76@att.net if you have any questions.
