Get Involved
Are you looking for a way to get more involved with
your child’s education? PTO is a perfect opportunity to create a closer
connection with staff and other parents. Our goals
include informational meetings designed around specific topics that will
help in parenting your elementary child, open forums for parent information
and teacher feedback, and community learning programs.
We have several volunteer opportunities available. Please contact Tammy Wilkerson for more information.
Can Shed Pick-up – first
Saturday every month
Please bag your refundable cans and bottles and set out for
pick up before 10:00am on that day. We cannot accept tea,
juice, or water bottles. Your donation is greatly appreciated!
Funds from the Can Shed collection are used to purchase books
and materials for the Amana Community Library. The Can Shed
continues throughout the year on the first Saturday of every
month. We are always in need of volunteers to assist with collecting cans.
If you are interested in helping with this effort, please contact
Stacy Ritchie (662-4244) or Jamie Bormann (622-6229).
P.T.O. Goals
Our primary focus in the past has been focused around teacher
support and community events and we would like to move equally towards
an environment of parent-teacher connection. We will continue to support
and supplement classroom activities and needs, and also give extra support
through fund-raising and classroom help.
