Thank you!
A huge thank you to everyone who donated to Teacher Treat days this year! The last Teacher Treat Day of the Year will be Friday, April 9th, and is sponsored by Santiago's. Stay tuned for next year's PTO-sponsored Teacher Treat Days.
Volunteers Needed
Don't forget to enter your volunteer hours (remember that every $10 donated equals one volunteer hour!) to help us keep a yearly total and for a chance to win the rights to the PTO Volunteer of the Month reserved parking spot!
A written record of our volunteer participation may help us to receive grants. By taking time to enter your hours, you may be helping even more!
We need volunteers to cut out laminated items for our teachers. This will have to be done at home with a two day turn around. For more information and sign up, please see link below.

PTO FAQ
How do I get involved?
There's something for everyone! Every parent can and should have a hand in making this a great year for all our students. Follow the TPCA PTO Facebook group, click on a sign-up link above, attend a monthly meeting, or email us for more info or to share your ideas.
What are the funds used for?
With the funds we raise, the PTO is able to provide free events throughout the year to promote school community. Additionally, money raised through the Trot and Silent Auction cover the cost of field trip transportation and help us reimburse teachers for some classroom supplies. We also use funds raised for special projects, like water bottle filling stations, playground shade, or a new piano for the music room.
Why should I track my volunteer hours?
All volunteers will be entered in a monthly drawing for a gift card or special parking spot! We also like to show how involved our parents and guardians are in our school, and a written record of volunteer time and involvement is important to have when we are applying for educational and non-profit grants. Your hours are not published and are only used for these purposes. Thank you for taking time to log them!
