2011-12 PTO Meeting Schedule
PTO Officer Elections for 2012-13 School Year
Parents – please consider taking a leadership position within the PTO. We have had a very successful and active group, and now it’s time for new faces to bring their ideas and energy forward.
We will be holding PTO officer elections at the May 15th PTO meeting for the 2012-2013 school year. The PTO is now accepting nominations for the offices of President; Vice President; Treasurer and Secretary. You may nominate yourself for one of these positions; or you may nominate another person (that person will then be contacted to affirm that they are interested in being a candidate). The positions run for a one-year term, with the provision that first-year office holders may run for an additional one-year term (for a total of 2 years in one position). Additionally, there may be openings to serve as committee chairs or members.
If you would like to make a nomination, please present it to Jennifer Berkey by Friday April 27th jmberkey@gmail.com

Our Montessori Environment - Your Feedback Needed
The Montessori Environment Committee includes student, parent and staff representation. The purpose of this committee is to develop a plan for improvements to our current school building (both on the inside of the building and school grounds) to further support the Montessori philosophy. Our goal is to make the best use of this current space ~ our home (this plan is not to be confused with a “reconstruct” from the district).
Over the past couple of months nearly 200 wonderful ideas have been submitted from parents, students and staff! These ideas were compiled into three different categories: Indoor; Outdoor; and Community. We'd like everyone to take a look at all three of these documents and provide feedback by ranking the ideas as to whether you are in favor of implementing them at our school. You can easily fill them out electronically, and submit them to Tim Werner at werner_tm@yahoo.com.
