Hello Little School Families!
I’m excited to welcome everyone back for another school year, especially those that may be new to our community! I know you’ll find the Little School a warm and welcoming place where you’re sure to make some great memories.
I am Rebekah Hinds and this will be my first year in the role of President of the PTO. I currently have Falco in the 4th Grade and Amaya in 2nd and look forward to the day my youngest, Lola, will join the Little School Labs in a few years. I have previous experience volunteering on the Board of Falco and Amaya’s preschool and enjoy building a community for parents and guardians with support for their students.
The Little School PTO has a history of hosting enriching programs for the students and fun events for our families and I plan to continue that legacy. We have a great group of volunteers on our board, however, we can’t make it happen without the support of our community- YOU! I truly hope you feel encouraged to join us in whatever capacity you are able, whether that be donating funds/supplies, attending a family event or volunteering at events for our students.
The main mission of the PTO is to provide enrichment programs that all students benefit from such as author visits, science programs and 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 grade level programs for our students, along with programs that benefit everyone school wide.
Our first meeting of the year will be held virtually on October 8th from 7-8 PM and we will continue to meet from 7-8 PM on the second Wednesday of each month. By simply having a student that attends the Little School, you are already a member of the PTO. We encourage everyone to attend a meeting and check out what we’re doing! In the meantime, the PTO website is a great resource to bookmark, and you can also follow the PTO on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram.
Thanks for taking the time to read this and please don’t hesitate to drop us a line!
