A Note from Jefferson Middle School PTO
Here’s a note for Jefferson Middle School families for the 2012/2013 school year…especially incoming 6th grade parents:
Please consider getting involved in the Jefferson PTO. Parent participation tends to drop off in middle school but the work and effort needed doesn’t. We are currently looking for a 6th grade parent representative for the PTO Board. If you are interested, please contact Jill Tomalin directly and ASAP at tjmiddleschool@gmail.com. If you are unsure if you can make it to PTO meetings next year, there are LOTS of other opportunities for involvement from one hour of your time to more. In whatever way makes sense for you: Get involved in the Jefferson school community!
Also, please join us at our last PTO meeting of the year on Wednesday, May 2 at 7 pm in the Jefferson LMC. And/or join us for a parent social hour at Dahmen’s Pizza immediately following the meeting (approximately 8:30 pm). This is a great chance to socialize with other Jefferson parents in an informal and casual environment. Hope to see you Wednesday!
Best // Jill Tomalin, PTO President
