The Broadalbin-Perth PTO is giving parents and teachers an added incentive for joining early in the school year: For every 25 members that join by Oct. 4, the PTO will raffle off a gift card. In addition, early birds who submit their membership forms prior to Sept. 1 will be entered into a drawing for a gift card on Labor Day. An annual family membership is $5, and all donations to the PTO are tax-deductible.
In addition to providing financial support for B-P programs and activities for children in pre-K through grade 8, the PTO also hosts several family-friendly events each year, including Breakfast with Santa, Bingo Night, Pasta Dinner, and Holiday Gift Shop. The PTO also sponsors the Missoula Children’s Theater production, mini-grants for teachers, and scholarships for graduating seniors. Volunteers are always welcome for any of these events, as well as other PTO activities.
Parents and teachers interested in joining PTO should complete the 2017-18 membership and giving form and return it with membership dues and any additional donations to PTO President Kristie Schwartz at The Learning Community, 100 Bridge Street, Broadalbin, NY 12025.
The first PTO meeting of the 2017-18 school year will start at 6 p.m., Monday, Sept. 11, in the TLC media center. Free babysitting is available at all PTO meetings.
