About

This volunteer team assists our Boosterthon Lead, Monica Blumenkrants. The lead helps with the planning, organizing and execution of the Boosterthon fundraiser and is able to choose what area to focus on for the event. Some areas that usually need assistance including booking the dance party DJ, planning and organizing prizes, creating school posters for grade level and school-wide goals, decorations planning and more. This is always a great event to help with and attend! 

This committee is super fun and helps plan the TME Family Tailgate in the fall. The 2024 committee is full; however, the TME PTO is still seeking volunteers! Sign up to volunteer below.

Being on the Staff Appreciation Team is a great - and low time commitment - way to support the TME Teachers and Staff. We stock monthly teacher/staff meetings with snacks and drinks.. Committee members volunteer to bring baked goods, water, soda and snacks to drop them off at the school for the events and meetings. PTO funds will help reimburse the cost for these items.

You will also help our Corresponding Secretaries to pull off an amazing Teacher Appreciation Week!

The TME Yearbook thrives on photos from school-wide events. To help gather these, TME needs parent volunteers to take photos and/or gather photos of major school events. These volunteers are willing to attend and/or ask for photos from other event attendees throughout the year and upload them for annual yearbook use.

There are several ways to be more involved with your child's education. You can become involved in Towne Meadow PTO (Parent Teacher Organization), you can volunteer at school, and/or you can provide assistance in your child's classroom. Reach out to townemeadowpto@gmail.com throughout the school year to see how you can stay involved. 

PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization. It is a local organization that provides a way for parents, teachers, and the community to work together for the good of children. On a school level, the Towne Meadow PTO is helpful in organizing events and activities and for assisting with fundraising opportunities that help enrich the educational and social experience of all Towne Meadow students. The PTO helps fund field trips, classroom subscriptions, convocations, enrichment activities, classroom parties, track and field day, and many additions items that DIRECTLY benefit your student.  

Yes, any parent or guardian of a Towne Meadow student is considered a member of the PTO. If you have some spare time and you would like to make a difference, we would love to have your assistance. At the top of the page is a link to the list of committees you may be interested in. If you are interested in any of these committees, please sign up to help. Every minute you can contribute is appreciated. 

All of our committees need volunteers whether you can help for many hours or for one. Various committees have projects that can be worked on at home as it fits into your schedule. Being involved does not mean that you have to be available to come into the school during the week. Everyone’s help is appreciated and needed no matter how much time you can devote. We can work around your schedule so you feel comfortable volunteering for the event. 

• Research on this topic has been conclusive. Children do better in school when their parents are involved. Just a few of the published benefits are:
• Students attitudes are more positive.
• Negative student behavior decreases.
• Students achievement increases regardless of the parent's own education, economic or ethnic/racial background.
• Students have higher grades, better attendance, and complete homework more often.
• Graduation rates are higher.

Joining the PTO is simple. You are a member if you have a student at Towne Meadow, make a donation, or volunteer to help. If you’d like to get more involved, please email any board member. We begin looking for new PTO board members to fill open positions starting in February for the next school years board.
