Hello :)
It's been a interesting start of the 20/21 School year. With virtual school and multiple in -person start dates for the children and teachers, things are constantly changing. Though it may seem like crazy times, I know that the administration and staff of Cario are trying their very best to make it as "normal" for our kiddos as possible. As for the PTSO, we got to give out the teachers mini-grant requests through the help of your membership contributions. We've done multiple lunches and treats for the teachers so far. Two of which were completely parent donated, one catered from Charleston Catering and the other from ohsnapcookies.net. Thank you for these and I know 100% the teachers and staff appreciated it!! The board is also working on ways to treat the kiddos too! We ordered 5 different kinds of new recess balls: including footballs,dodgeballs,volleyballs,soccer balls & basketballs. They were delivered to each pod on Friday 10/9!!
The Park West Campus Education Fund (our primary fundraising body) was dissolved this year. Resulting in each school on the Park West campus will be returning to its individual fundraisers this year. We are actively thinking of new ways, so stay turned for things to come!
We are hoping that the school store will be able to reopen for this school year, but as of right now it remains closed. We will keep you updated on any changes.
There are no volunteer opportunities so far for this year, but as soon as we can, we hope all of you will be on board!! Please make sure to follow the Cario Middle School Facebook page, & the Cario Middle School Parents Facebook page. This seasonal newsletter will have information and other fun things we had or will be having announced as well. We will be having a Cario PTSO Facebook page as well, it is under construction but please go on and ask to join!
Which brings me to the next topic... Board Seats!!
We currently have a few seats open on the Cario PTSO board. The Store seats obviously will be needed when the store can re-open. The new seats of social media mediator and fundraiser coordinator would be open asap.
*Co-School Store admin(merch, commericials, ect.)
*Co-School Store admin(deposits,books balance,volenteers)
*Social Media Mediator(keep sites up with new, important,info. as well as correct info.)
*Fundraiser Coordinator(Cario Stars)
If you would like to join our PTSO board in any capacity large or small, please email us at CARIOPTSO@gmail.com. We meet once a month, right now over zoom, for about 90mins. Meetings are important to attend due to constant new info.
Thank you all for your support this year! I know things are all new and different but we are working on making this still a great Cario year!
GO COMETS!
Sincerely & Happily,
Julie Mortellaro
