HALES CORNERS ELEMENTARY
Parent Teacher Organization
Dear Families,
On behalf of the PTO, we would like to welcome everyone. You ask what is PTO? PTO stands for Parent-Teacher Organization, consisting of parents and teachers working together to support and enrich all students. We support school staff, help promote student self-esteem, and assist in efforts to solve school needs through volunteering and funding.
What is the PTO and who can be a member?
The PTO is made up of several officers, Lauren Michaud and Rhonda Perry, Co-Presidents; Vice President, Emili Kozminske; Secretary, Megan Rivera; and Anne Fueger, Treasurer.
So, who can be a member? If you’re a father, mother, protector, guardian, and/or a person who teaches or instructs at HCE, you can become a member.
PTO Programs & Fundraising
Our primary objective as a PTO is to provide our school with funds, programs, resources, and services that will enrich and maximize the education of every child and to benefit the school. To meet this important objective, we fundraise. Here are a few programs that we sponsor and/or support: Curriculum based programs, Artist in Residence Program (AIR), Spirit Wear, Ice Cream Social & Basket Bash, Marcus Theater ticket sales, Knowledge-a-thon, product collections, eat to earn events with local restaurants, and other fundraising events that take place during the school year.
Become a Volunteer….Why YOU should get involved!
As you can see, we are a small and busy group. This is where you come in! We need your help, and so do your child(ren). A special thanks to all of our volunteers from last year for all their hard work and dedication. Here at HCE, we strive for excellence and what better way than to become involved today. We are in need of growth and are seeking volunteers to continue re-establishing the organization. We have planned some exciting events this year in hopes to get more parents involved in their children’s education. The PTO is a team effort; we cannot succeed on our own. Please come and join us by signing up or contacting us at hcepto@whitnall.com
Sincerely,
Lauren Michaud & Rhonda Perry
PTO Co-Presidents 2024-2025
