In preparation for our new playground to be installed the summer of 2021, we still have some planning and fundraising.
Our outside classroom has so many possibilities. Between planning for what to plant, fundraising for projects for the students (i.e. rock painting, planting seeds, etc.)
This committee works to build relationships with the parents and teachers and engages kids to socialize. This is particularly important at the beginning of the year. This committee has also hosted kid events like Fun Fridays (lego challenges, virtual Pictionary, Tell a Joke, etc.) as well as a virtual parent Whine & Cheer events.
In order to do any of these great activities for our kids, we need to raise money. Throughout the year, we have various events, such as, monthly restaurant nights, boonsupply.com, spirit wear sales, movie nights at school, etc.
We need volunteers to make these events successful!
You will help review the end of the year financial statement provided by the Treasurer. Periodic checks on the budget throughout the year.
We are in need of a couple volunteers to lead this committee for the 2021 PTO Board election. If interest, please contact Janet Ham (whittierpto150@gmail.com)
