Pomerado
PTA
Frequently
asked questions about the PTA:
What is the "Board," when does it meet, and who
can come?
The Board is the
group of people who run the PTA. They hold meetings generally the
first Friday of
each month at 1:15 pm in the Library. ANYONE may attend these
meetings. Please view the
School Calendar to verify monthly meeting dates.
Where
does all the money go?
 The money is used to
purchase items for our school, to pay for improvements (like the murals), and to provide
activities such as free books, family art night, book fairs, health and safety activities,
and so on. Click here for a copy of the budget.
How
do I find out about each event?
First of all, check the
school calendar. We
try very hard to get our dates firmed up by the end of the school year to publish in the
calendar which is distributed the first day of school. Second, double check this
against Stuff You Should Know. Because events are planned a year in advance,
sometimes there are changes. Third, check your backpacks! We try to publicize
each event with at least two flyers. Then check the newsletter. This is FIVE
notifications of each event!
How do I get
involved?
 That is the EASIEST
question of all! Do not sit at home and wait to be asked. Do not roam around
school wondering who everyone is. Do not sit on the sidelines and wish you could get
to know more people. Pick up the phone TODAY and call our volunteer coordinator, or
take a look at the volunteer web page. You can even call the
person over the area where you want to volunteer in, or call the PTA
president at
748-1320. We would LOVE to have you work with us. We have big jobs, little
jobs, easy jobs, quiet jobs, FUN jobs--CALL!
Why do we have fundraisers? Why are our kids selling? Why
can't I just make a flat donation?
This year we have some fundraisers planned. If you do not want to participate in
them, feel free to decline. Remember, YOU decide if your kids will participate.
If you would rather make a flat donation to the PTA and not participate, merely
send in a check made out to "Pomerado PTA" in an envelope which says "PTA
donation" and that's that! The bottom line is that the money we raise really
has benefited our school tremendously.
How can I
provide input?
 If you have great ideas about our
Programs or PTA in general, you may call the
PTA president at 748-1320 from 7am to 3 pm or you may drop
them by the PTA box in the office. We would WELCOME all wonderful new ideas!
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SUPPORT!
