🍦 Stronger Together: Double the Scoops! 🐾🤠
We’ve been scanning local campus calendars because we believe no parent group should run on an island! Let's put "Stronger Together" into action by supporting these two upcoming back-to-school spirit nights:
🐾 Reuben Johnson Elementary (RJE) PTA | Monday, August 17, 5:00 PM – 9:00 PM
🤠 McClure Elementary PTO | Wednesday, August 19, All Day
📍 Where: Handel’s Homemade Ice Cream (4700 W. Eldorado Parkway, Ste. 210)

Why did we pick Friday, August 14? Because school will have officially started, vacations are over, and campuses are closed to visitors - making this the prime time to huddle up. 🏰 It's the ultimate safe space for sharing strategies with people who actually get it. RSVP: https://www.facebook.com/share/18Ah5DnWrG/ Share this to your stories and tag a fellow leader you want to sit next to during this event!

In the words of every parent ever: "Because I said so." But in PTA/PTO terms, we prefer "Proactive Leadership". Our goal for this Roundtable is to help you anticipate challenges before they become 'all-hands-on-deck' crises. We'll train you on how to conduct your First Meeting and make the most out of your resources. Be the leader you wish you had back in 1998. 🕶️
What small steps are you taking to be a Proactive Leader?

Let's talk about the topics at our Leadership Roundtable. Since I lurve communication strategy, you can bet there will be discussion around this topic! If your current communication strategy is "I hope someone reads the flyer at the bottom of the backpack," we should talk. 🎒 From mastering the Newsletter to navigating Social Media policies, we're going to help you cut through the noise. Communication builds confidence - so come learn how to make sure your message actually lands. https://www.facebook.com/share/18Ah5DnWrG/

We know, we know. "PTA? PTO? Isn't that like the difference between Beta and VHS?" 📺 Not quite. And if you don't know what Beta is, don't say anything.
Whether you have the 'A' or the 'O' at the end of your name, we're all here for the same kids. We're inviting all campus parent leaders on August 14. We're breaking down the silos because our students achieve more when we work together. Plus, we'll have water and tea - basically the adult version of a juice box. 🧃 Tag a fellow leader from a "sister campus" or neighboring school!
