GET INVOLVED WITH THE
MITCHELL PTO!
Who are we and what do we do?
The Mitchell PTO is made up of parents/guardians of Mitchell students,
as well as Mitchell administrators and staff.
We are a collaborative group working together to provide social
opportunities, educational programs, fund raising, and other initiatives in
support of the social and educational wellbeing of our kids.
How can you get involved?
There are MANY ways that you can get involved, whether you have a little
time or a lot, from volunteering for an hour or two at Fall Fest, Book Fair or
other activity, to taking on a leadership position on the Executive Board (i.e.
President, Treasurer, etc.). There are
many opportunities to help throughout the school year and we encourage you to
get involved even if you feel you only have a small amount of time to
give. Our goal is to have everyone do a
little so that no one has to do a lot.
We are currently
in the early planning stages for next year’s activities and we want to hear
from you! First and foremost, we need to elect a new Executive Board for the
2016-17 school year. All positions are
currently open for nominations, including officer positions as well committee
chairs and members at large (nomination form attached with descriptions of each
position). Each position can also be a
shared position (i.e. Co-Treasurers, Co-Committee Chair, etc.) so if you and
another fellow Mitchell parent are considering a Board position but aren’t sure
if you want to do it alone, sign up together and it will be less work for both
of you!
All parents
are welcome and the more participation we have, the better we will be at
supporting a great social and educational environment at Mitchell for our kids.
We also welcome all opinions and ideas.
The more input we have from many different voices, the more
representative we will be of the entire Mitchell community.
Here is the first way that you can
help: Do you know
someone who would be a great voice for the Mitchell community? Then nominate them for a PTO position!
Remember that you can nominate yourself or someone else, and that all nominees
will be contacted prior to the election in May to confirm whether or not they
wish to accept the nomination.
Please
return the attached nomination form to the school office by APRIL 8, 2016.
