PTO

WELCOME TO THE ASPEN ACADEMY PTO

Current Events:

- THANK YOU to all who attended the PTO Back to School Picnic on Tuesday, August 24th. We had a great turnout and many families connected. We are looking forward to seeing everyone at the Back to School Night at Aspen from 4:00 - 6:00 p.m. Please visit the PTO table in the gym.

- The Aspen PTO has four committees which are chaired or co-chaired by an Aspen parent: Classroom Support - this committee focuses on efforts to enrich and support the classroom learning experience (such as organization of the phonics curriculum, MAP testing coordination, lunchroom assistance, etc.). Special Events - this committee assists with the coordination and the planning of special events at Aspen (such as the Harvest Dance, Spring Fling, etc.). Fundraising - this committee evaluates, plans, and organizes the fundraising opportunities for the year (we could not financially support our teachers, staff, and school without this committee!). Communications - this committee assists with coordinating PTO meetings, updating the PTO page on the website, and general communication of PTO activities. Please consider sharing your time and talent on a committee. We would love to have you chair, co-chair, or join a committee for the 2010-2011 school year; every parent is invaluable to the Aspen School community and all are welcome. If you would like to participate in a committee, please sign up at the Back to School PTO Table on August 31st or simply email Gwen Wick gwenw_@hotmail.com (please note the "_" after the w).
