Welcome to the new school year!
And Welcome to the Collicot Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)!
The Collicot School PTO is a non-profit volunteer parent-run organization made up of all the parents and teachers at Collicot, working together to make Collicot the best it can be for our children. As a parent/guardian of a Collicot student, you are automatically a member of the PTO and we encourage you to get involved!
This monthly newsletter is to inform you of upcoming events and latest happenings at Collicot!
Useful links & important dates can be found at the bottom of this email.
We encourage you to join our Facebook Page for reminders, volunteer opportunities, community photos, and more!
We would like to introduce this year's PTO Leadership Team:
Lindsay DeGennaro (gr. 3 and 1) (President)
Meghan Paiva (gr. 3 and 1) (Co-Treasurer)
Colleen Fogerty (gr. 6 and 2) (Co-Treasurer)
Kate Tenforde (gr. 4 and 1) (Secretary)

Former Presidents, Christine Morrow and Rebecca Stover will be working with our 5th Grade Committee during their last year at Collicot! A big thank you to them for their hard work and dedication these past few years!

Class Parents Needed!
Looking for a way to get involved with your child's class? A class parent facilitates communication between parents and the teacher, and/or PTO, and supports the teacher in needs that may arise.

Please click HERE to learn more and sign up by Friday, September 9th if you are interested in serving as a Class Parent for your child's class this year.

Each class needs 1-2 Class Parents. Selected Class Parents will receive an email from the PTO.
Birthday Books!
Looking for a fun way to celebrate your child's birthday and support the Collicot library? During your child’s birthday month (or half birthday), they can pick a book from our list of birthday books. A commemorative book plate with your child’s name and birthday will be added to the book and it will be donated to the school library. Your child will also receive a certificate thanking them for their donation. For years to come every student who reads that book will know it was a Birthday Book from your child!   

Click HERE for all the information and donation form. The cost is $10.

Don't want to forget? Why wait? Sign up now and the book will be delivered during your child's birthday month!
An Easy Way to Help Our School through Amazon
