The purpose of the Mid Rivers Elementary PTO is to aid the students by providing support for their social, educational and recreational needs and to promote open communication between the administration, teachers and parents. This purpose is met through the efforts and support of the parents, families and teachers who are committed to enhancing the learning experience of our children.
There are many exciting activities and events planned throughout the year and our goal is to have all parents involved. Our first event is the Ice Cream Social on August 26 from 6 – 8:00 p.m. Come enjoy the sounds of the band Then and Now, while your children play on the playground and everyone enjoys some ice cream. What a great way to start the new school year! Everyone is welcome and encouraged to join the PTO. Membership is only $5.00 per family. Activities are scheduled throughout the school year and we would love to see all our parents, grandparents and families at each event. Specific information on events and activities will be in the monthly principal newsletters and the PTO newsletters as well as various flyers that detail the events. Our entire budget comes from fundraising events that are held throughout the year. All proceeds go right back into Mid Rivers Elementary student activities and teacher and classroom support. Through fundraising efforts, the PTO has been able to provide Mid Rivers Elementary with items and financial support the school may otherwise have to do without. Playground and classroom equipment, technology needs such as Smart Boards, EBeams, projectors, instructional clickers, library books, grade level activities, yearly reading program incentives and club activities are just a few of the items that the PTO budget provides to Mid Rivers Elementary. During the 2010-2011 school year, over $9,000 was raised to complete Phase 1 of the playground addition. Phase 2 will focus on adding additional playground equipment to the existing pieces on the upper field. The PTO is a great place to get connected with other parents and stay informed as to what is happening not only within the school but also the school district. The PTO meets the second Tuesday of every month at 6:30 PM in the school library. We would like to extend an invitation to all interested parents to join us to make Mid Rivers Elementary the best it can be by making a positive impact on the educational lives of all the students.
