Hello Little School Families!
Happy new school year, Little Labs! To our returning families, welcome back! To our new families, welcome to our school community. You’ll find it to be a warm, supportive place and we’re thrilled to have you here!
We are PTO co-presidents Katie Gabriello and Katie Roy! Katie G has Johnny, Grade 4, Betsy, Grade 2 and Teddy, Kindergarten, and Katie R has Layla, Grade 4 and Norah, Grade 2. This is the start of our fourth year leading the PTO along with an amazing group of volunteers, and we hope you’ll consider joining us in whatever capacity works with your life and schedule. The PTO is an inclusive place; by virtue of having a child at the Little School, you are already part of the Little School PTO. Whether you donate funds or supplies, attend an event, purchase apparel or support a restaurant night, you are an integral part of our PTO and make our school community such a special place.
The main mission of the PTO is to implement enrichment programs that all of the students benefit from like author visits, science programs and dramatic historical presentations to name just a few. Our enrichment committee works with each grade level team to find appropriate curriculum-based programs to bring into the classroom. To that end, we host a variety of fundraisers each year to provide these programs for our students, along with things for the school that benefit the whole school population. Check out the 22-23 Impact Report here that showcases some of the many things the PTO accomplished last year, including new scooters for PE, new music stands for performing arts and state-of-the art robotics kits of Digital Learning, along with a variety of activities and events for each grade and across the school!
We’ll be meeting in-person on Wednesday, September 20th at 7pm in the Little School cafeteria. There will also be a virtual option to join as well. The PTO website is a great resource to bookmark, and you can also follow the PTO on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. Please consider joining us for a meeting or event, and we can’t wait to see you!
Warm wishes for a happy start of school,
Katie Roy & Katie Gabriello
