WANTED
Parents with a Can Do Attitude!
All of the Gorman Fort Banks PTO Executive Board positions are open. Don't think that you need to be a stay at home parent in order to run! The requirements are that you have a "let's get this done" attitude with a firm commitment to enrich the lives and education of the Fort Banks students.
The current board essentially volunteered so long as they had a co-member to run with them. With that, we now have 2 presidents, 2 vice presidents, 2 secretaries and one treasurer. The majority of our board members are "graduating" to the Cummings. We hope you consider getting more involved for the 2011-12 school year by submitting your interest in time for elections in June.
Positions available:
- Co-president, 1 year term
- Co-president, 2 year term
- Co-vice president, 1 year term
- Co-vice president, 2 year term
- Co-secretary, 1 year term
- Co-secretary, 2 year term
- Co-treasurer, 1 year term
- Co-treasurer, 2 year term
If you have any questions or would like to submit your name for a board position, please reply in the comments section below. Your response will not be posted and will remain confidential.
I think we should reach out to the incoming parents as well for there input and support, maybe hold a special meeting for elections after we tried to make PTO more visible and available for comments and concerns on Kindergarten day at the fort. ie verbally invite them to attend this "special election Meeting" maybe give them some literature on such positions so if they are interested they may also get involved. I don't believe that they were very informed on registration day on PTO events and responsibilities and the importance on parent involvement. Not saying to make it mandatory that they attend this meeting but maybe suggest they attend as for the importance of there children's upcoming years.
ReplyDeleteI don't know just a suggestion. I think majority of the parents are not aware of the importance and what it is that the PTO actually does.
Informational forms and meeting outreach have been made at kindergarten registration. We're also planning on doing the same at the incoming kindergarten parent orientation June 1st.
ReplyDeleteBut we can always do better. We welcome assistance to do better and the initiatives of volunteers to help market the PTO. Contact Dawn Manning or myself and we'll help you get started.
