WELCOME BACK TO A NEW SCHOOL YEAR!  WE HOPE YOU HAD A WONDERFUL SUMMER.

The PTO has many fantastic programs and activities planned this year - starting off with Welcome-Back Coffees, BBQs & Picnics, 4/5 Cocoa Breakfasts, Photo Days and Book Fairs.  Take a look at our website, www.pvpto.com, for event and volunteer info as well as CMS After School Athletics registration/payment.

New this year! Sign up for volunteer opportunities online starting Monday August 19th - including Head Room Parent roles: pvpto.com/volunteer

We want to thank all the parents who have already committed to lead a PTO program in 2019-2020 and look forward to more parents becoming involved this year.  On the first day of school, please stop by the CMS Welcome-Back Coffee at 7:30 am and/or the ORM Welcome-Back Coffee at 7:45 am. PTO reps at both sites will be able to answer any questions you may have and explain our many volunteer opportunities.

PTO donations help fund over 30 PTO programs and services, including cultural assemblies for students and popular community events. Please consider joining the PTO today to support these programs and to order your school directory.

We look forward to seeing you at school and hearing from you throughout the year. Your ideas, feedback and questions are always welcome.

Sincerely,

Stefanie Trenchard  - CMS PTO President ([email protected])
