PTO MEETING MINUTES September 2005 Dear Montessori School of Westfield Parents, The mission of the PTO is a peaceful and purposeful relationship between parents and teachers; uniting together to enrich the Montessori experience for all children. The PTO Board would like to thank all the parents who attended the August 26th Parent/PTO meeting! We had a great turn out and many parents volunteered their time for upcoming PTO events. We discussed some of our upcoming events, along with the PTO request for donations to the playground fund. As you may have noticed, William Lyman, along with some dedicated parents, have been hard at work installing the new playground equipment! The children are so excited about the new additions. The PTO Board members are deeply grateful for the donations we’ve received thus far. Without the financial support of our parents, we would not be able to install the necessary updates to our school. THANK YOU FOR YOUR DONATIONS, PARENTS! We had a great time at the Ben & Ari’s Family Fun Night Event last Sunday, September 11th. Children and parents participated in Miniature Golf, Duck Pin Bowling, and lots of arcade games! Everyone had a blast! Thank you to our volunteers who helped with this event, and to Tina Plantenga, who organized the event! We would also like to thank the families that ordered spirit wear! This is a great way to show school support, and the children take pride in wearing their Montessori shirts! Your orders will be coming soon. Our next PTO/Parent Meeting is schedule for Thursday, October 13th at 7:00 p.m. The PTO Board will give updates on our current fundraisers and discuss some of the ideas parents have submitted for future fundraisers. We are fortunate to have so many parents with special talents at our school. The PTO would like to know what they are! So please be sure to fill out our parent survey if you haven’t already. You’ll find additional copies on our website or at the front canopy at school! Again, please plan to attend our next meeting on October 13th. The school values the input of our parents! Sincerely, Montessori School of Westfield PTO Board
