Middle School/High School PTO

 

 

As a parent of a middle or high school student we know you want to stay involved in your child’s education. The PTO at the Middle/High School is primarily a service organization. Due to the large amount of activities, meetings, fundraisers that are organized for students and parents in these schools, we decided when we first formed that the meetings and fundraising would be kept to a minimum. The September Market Day has been generously given to us by the Elementary PTO. We also participate in the Boston Store Community Day Sales and Target fundraiser. The proceeds along with donations of talent, treats and time from our volunteers enable us to support a variety of groups and activities. Below is a partial list.

 

·       The senior banquet is hosted by the MS/HS PTO and the district. The banquet is followed by the senior awards evening. The meat is catered and the remainder of the meal is prepared by PTO volunteers. The student’s meals are free and parents/other guests pay a fee. This evening is a wonderful celebration of our student’s accomplishments.

 

·       Teacher appreciation week. PTO volunteers donate snacks (veggies, fruit, baked goods) for the middle/high school staff during this week. To help with this activity check either making phone calls and/or donating snacks on the volunteer sheet.

 

·       8th and 10th grade test week snacks. Those who volunteer to donate snacks and have students in those grades will be asked to provide some snacks for this long week of testing for your student. We also provide an opportunity for those with great ambition to coordinate this event. These lucky individuals will make sure that enough food is provided for each day (making phone calls, sending emails etc.)

 

 

·       Middle school fun nights (we provide chaperones and donate door prizes.) It is a fun evening with games, music, food, door prizes, etc. Those who check the chaperone box or donate door prizes will be called but all parents of middle school students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

 

·       Open gyms for high school students. The open gyms follow basketball or football games. Open gyms are only possible when we have enough volunteers to organize this event. Anyone interested in helping coordinate an open gym contact Jackie Schmitt at schmittj@deerfield.k12.wi.us

 

 

·       Funds for teen topic day for the 6th grade and Senior topic day in the high school.  Bridges to the     Community hosts these two informative days for our 6th and 12th grade students. There are speakers covering many topics relevant to students transitioning into middle school or college. The MS/HS PTO has made a monetary donation each year to help support this event.

 

·       Donation to post prom. The post prom committee does a great job each year planning a lock in every spring for our junior prom. We are happy to help support this safe evening for our students.

 

·       Donate to parent evenings (speakers etc.) The PTO has been asked in the past to contribute to other organizations to help fund informative evenings for adults/parents. We have in the past partnered with the Bridge’s organization to help bring speakers such as Mike McGowan to our community.  

 

 

Our volunteer form is available on this page.
