We are excited to welcome back our students and parents and proud to introduce one of our new programs, Three for Me, at our school. PTA’s have long realized the parent involvement is necessary to increase children’s success at school. We encourage every parent, grandparent, and any adult that is involved in a child’s life, to participate in the Three for Me program.
THREE FOR ME…is a promise. A promise not only from you, but a promise to your child and a promise to our school. You promise to volunteer three hours of your time at or on behalf of the school to your child by signing a Three for Me promise card. Whether it is making copies for a teacher, reading to children, filing books on the shelves, helping at a PTA event, or dozens of other opportunities, it's all important and it all counts.
Our PTA will track the volunteer hours of every parent. That means moms, dads, grandparents, older brothers or sisters, foster parents, or any adult that is involved in the child’s life. Once you reach your three hours of volunteerism at our school, we will mark your achievement by placing your name on our "Walk of Fame" in the main hallway of the school. In addition, at the end of the school year, we’ll send home a Three for Me Certificate with your name and the total hours that you volunteered for the school year. Our motto, “a little volunteering, goes a long way…” really means a lot when we look at the number of volunteer hours at the end of the school year. Make this simple promise to them to volunteer three hours, follow through, and show them how much you care about their school. Sign the promise card and open the door to your child’s school today.
