Can Fundraising be Less Stressful?
We all know fundraising is not easy. But what if there was a way to help yourself by creating a more balanced fundraising year? The good news is that there are steps you can take today, before this school year ends, to set yourself up for success in the fall.

Spring Fundraising To-Dos:
  • Finalize contracts for next fall's product sales. (Spirit Sox are a great idea!)
  • Set dates for a family event for next fall, such as a carnival or Fun Run.
  • Remind parents to turn in their Box Tops for Education.
  • Before school ends, have the outgoing fundraising chair meet with the new one to bring her/him up to date and pass along important information.
  • Thank families for their support and tell them how your group spent fundraising profits througout the year.


PTO Today, by Elizabeth Leaver, March/April 2018
Meet Riley
Happy Birthday Riley!

On April 5, Riley turned 12 years-old. And I have to say, no one loves a birthday more than Riley. It's not the cake, (although he'd love a whole one of those) or the family dinner that are Riley's favorites - of all things, it is singing Happy Birthday. Yes, Riley sings Happy Birthday, on every birthday, to each one of us. Watch the video to hear Riley sing along for his boy's birthday!
