Every year is a new beginning, whether it's a transition to a new grade or an entirely new school, our kids are trying things they never imagined.We can too. This years PTO continues to build on the hard work of the parents who have gone before us. We look forward to continuing to develop as an organization where parents and teachers work side by side with our children and the administration so that we can expand the concept and the power of being an Innovation school.
Here are a few ways the O'Maley PTO is setting the stage for how you can make a difference.
1) Appreciation for Staff: Do you like to make people feel appreciated with the occasional small but meaningful gesture?
2) Book Swap: Have you always loved the thrill of trading books? Want to share that experience with others?
3) Communications: Love to write? See editing mistakes all over the place? Like making webpages functional and attractive?
4) Eighth Grade Committee: Can you believe these kids are in their last year of middle school?
5) Fundraising: Do you like the feel of bringing money in where there was none before? Are you forever coming up with creative ways to get a little more cash? Do you love the rush of putting together a sale?
6) Grant Writers: Amazing things have been happening with grant money.
7) Hospitality: Do you like to coordinate food or welcome people into a meeting with a cup of coffee or tea? Maybe you like to make a table beautiful or you love coordinating kids (or adults) to run a bake sale or lemonade stand? Are you willing to bake a batch of cookies on occasion?
8) Hour-at-a-time: Are you at a point in your life where you can't take on anything big but if someone asked you to do a small concrete job you'd be happy to help? Are you super busy during the day but could happily send a few emails or pick up some supplies on the weekend?
9) Landscape and Grounds: When you walk onto the O'Maley campus does your eye wander to cracks and weeds? Do you picture the school with trimmed trees and plants that can bounce back after a basketball trounces them? Do you love getting together with friends to pull weeds or working with a coach and a group of students to do a clean-up project? If somebody said go pull weeds here would you be happy to get digging?
10) Library: Can you imagine a school without a well stocked and organized library?! Do you feel that books nourish the soul or maybe you just love the feeling of having an orderly bookshelf? Would you prefer being in the background as kids are going about their day?
11) Membership: Love to spread the word about a good thing? Like to be the hub for all the spokes?
12) Organizer extraordinaire: Are you always taking notes or keeping track of what needs to happen next? Is planning your thing?
SECOND: PTO meetings should be short, sweet and to the point but even so, they aren't the only way to be involved. We know you are busy and we know you care about what is happening for your child or children. There are ways for anybody and everybody to belong and to have an impact in the PTO. THIRD: Your input is incredibly important. O'Maley Innovation Middle School has much to recommend it as well as some areas that could use a little tweaking. Let's work together to make this great school exceptional! TBA, PTO President Lori Smith, PTO Treasurer
