This year, each classroom will have ONE amazing parent volunteer serving as Room Rep! 🌼

Here's what the role looks like:

🗓️ Team up with the teacher to pick the perfect date and time for classroom parties
📣 Spread the word to opted-in classroom families with all the party details
🙋 Rally the troops — recruit fellow parent volunteers to help run the celebration
🎊 Be the host and bring the party energy on the big day!
Responsible for Classroom Door Decorating in May
Coordinating a classroom gift is always at the discretion of the Room Rep and not associated with the PTO.

Don't worry about the logistics — the PTO has you covered! All supplies, snacks, and activities are handled through our teacher-approved Party in a Box program (voted in unanimously by our amazing teaching staff), so you can focus on the FUN, not the shopping list. 🌼

Visit our website to sign up or email [email protected] with any questions!
