Happy Summer from the Hoover PTO + Volunteer Opportunities
We hope you’re all having a wonderful summer! It’s hard to believe school will start again in just a few weeks. While we soak in this time with our kiddos, we’re also very excited for the 2024-2025 school year! We have two goals as the Hoover PTO:
- Raise funds for the school for field trips, enrichment programs, and other school needs
- Foster strong connections between families, teachers, and school officials to create a thriving educational community.
Join us in accomplishing our goals! We have several opportunities, including:
- Chairing an event (eg Book Fair Chair)
- Breakroom + Teacher Appreciation Coordinator
- Garden Committee (new)
- And more, let us know what ideas you have too
Reach out to us at hoovermelrosepto@gmail.com to let us know that you’re interested in volunteering. All are welcome!
PTO Summer Survey
The Hoover PTO would like to hear your ideas and preferences through the Hoover PTO survey. Please try to submit your responses by the end of August. You can also reach us at hoovermelrosepto@gmail.com if you’d like to speak with us directly.
Hoover Fun Run, Friday, October 18 – Save the Date
Our main fundraiser, the Hoover Fun Run, will take place on Friday, October 18. Families can help with the fundraiser by asking friends and family to support their student runner(s). On the day of the run, students head out to the school track with their grade and spend 30 minutes walking and running as many laps as they can.
Families also participate by volunteering for the run. A sign up sheet will be circulated closer to the event for volunteer opportunities throughout the day. We look forward to seeing you there!
