Montessori Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)
MONTESSORI ACADEMY - EVANSVILLE, IN
PTO INFORMATION
We have a PTO table to the left as soon as you enter the front door. Throughout the year, information about PTO events/meetings can be found here. Montessori has an active PTO and we hope you join us by volunteering and coming to the meetings. It is a great way to be involved with your child's school and to meet new people!
What does PTO do?
- We raise funds to provide support to the school and its wonderful teachers and try to have as much fun as possible with those fundraisers!
- We host a beginning of the year picnic (held in August) to give families a chance to get to know each other.
- We host a costume party a Saturday in October.
- We help keep maintenance costs down by organizing a fall and spring outdoor clean up day.
- We host four PTO meetings a year. Each meeting has its own topic. We provide babysitting at those meetings so everyone has the opportunity to attend.
