The PTO is involved in a wide variety of activities throughout the school year.In order to ensure that these activities are successful, we rely on our dedicated volunteers.If you are unable to attend the meetings, volunteering for a committee is a great way to be involved with the PTO.We are fortunate to have committee chairpersons and parent volunteers for each of our committees, but new volunteers are always very welcome.If you are interested in volunteering for a committee, please contact either a PTO officer or the committee chairperson.A list of the PTO committees, chairpersons and brief descriptions for each follows.
Staff Appreciation CommitteeChairperson:Angie Thomas
The PTO is happy to provide a special little treat on several occasions throughout the year to thank our staff at Clinton Prairie.This is our way of showing our staff that we appreciate all of the effort and hard work that does into our children's education.Being involved with this committee does not involve a large time commitment.Volunteers will be asked to send in a baked item or similar treat once or twice during the year.Items are generally sent to school with your child, so this committee is perfect for parents who wish to be involved but aren't able to be at school in person.
Trash Bag SalesChairperson:Stephanie Coapstick
This is the only fundraiser sponsored by the PTO for the entire year and sales take place during the month of September.We sell quality trash bags that are made here in Indiana.The money raised is used for funding field trips, purchasing classroom materials, purchasing playground equipment and a variety of other programs.Volunteers for this committee help handout trash bags during parent-teacher conferences.The time involvement for this is 2 to 3 hours in October.
The Gopher GrapevineChairperson:Andrea Burke
The Gopher Grapevine is the official newsletter for Clinton Prairie Elementary and is compiled and published by a PTO volunteer.Inside the Grapevine you will find news and current events about each grade level, special classes, seasonal activities and sports.The newsletters are published on a bi-monthly basis.Be sure to check it out!
Box Tops for EducationChairperson:Resource Room
General Mills sponsors a program called "Box Tops for Education".Involvement in this is simple, just cut out the small rectangles found on specially marked packages of General Mills products and send them to school with your child.Our school's PTO earns 10 cents for each box top which is used for a variety of programs.This is a great program to involve friends and family members in.The PTO sponsors two contests during the year between the classrooms to see which class can collect the most box tops.The winning class earns a pizza or ice cream party.
EnrichmentChairperson:Michelle Schluttenhofer
Enrichment is a PTO sponsored activity that is put on every other year at no cost to the students.All students are invited to participate in the activities.Classes are offered for a wide variety of interests including crafts, various sports, agriculture, weather, science, arts, etc.Enrichment classes are held after school on the four Wednesdays in April.This is an enrichment year so be watching for more information in March.Volunteers for this committee will help organize classes, teach classes or assist the instructors during classes.The time involvement for this is 6 to 8 hours in March and April.
Sixth Grade Honor NightChairperson:Marie Stahl
Each year the PTO hosts a reception for our graduating sixth grade class on sixth grade honor night.This committee is traditionally made up of parents of fifth grade students.Committee members are responsible for decorating at the reception and providing and serving refreshments for the sixth grade students and their families.The time involvement for this is 2 to 3 hours in May.
When the holiday season approaches, interested parents can find a notebook containing a wish list of classroom materials for each teacher in the elementary office.This notebook is compiled by a PTO volunteer and is a useful tool for students wishing to purchase a gift for their teacher.
Book FairChairperson:Dennis Hoffman
The annual book fair is held in the elementary library in November to coincide with Grandparents' Day activities and is sponsored by the school library.The PTO is involved in providing volunteers to help the students with their selections during their lunch recess.The time involvement for this is 1 to 2 hours in November.
The Clinton Prairie Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is a group comprised of parents, parent volunteers and school staff members.Our goal is to support our students and staff by providing funding for field trips, classroom materials, school equipment and a number of other programs.
Anyone interested in the success of our students and school can be involved with the PTO.Parent involvement is the key to the success of our PTO and can range from attending meetings to volunteering to help with a committee or both.Any and all parent involvement is greatly appreciated.
PTO Meetings
Attending PTO meetings is a great way to interact with teachers and staff and to be knowledgeable about what's going on at your child's school.There will be five meetings held throughout the school year.All meetings are held in the elementary library and childcare is provided.Meeting times alternate between an evening and after school schedule in an attempt to accommodate the busy schedules of our parents.The meetings last approximately 30 to 45 minutes and include refreshments and a door prize.
PTO meetings are a time when we summarize recent activities, discuss upcoming events and brainstorm ideas for future PTO involvement.We DO NOT use PTO meetings as a way of recruiting volunteers for our committees.Whether you are able to attend one meeting or all five, your presence and input is important and we hope that you will attend.
