To anyone hesitant about getting involved with the PTO or volunteering, I’d say: just try it. There’s no pressure to commit to everything. Even helping with one event or task, like decorating or organizing, makes a difference. Everyone has their own jam, and the PTO is such a welcoming group.-Haley Havenga, pto member, Husmann
There are many different ways to volunteer without a huge time commitment. Whether it’s a TAP room project, helping at an event, or just coming to a PTO meeting, there are countless ways to get involved and make a difference. -Ginny Pondel, PTO Financial Secretary, SOuth Elementary
