The Red Bank School Parent Teacher Organization (P.T.O) is an organization for parents with children attending Red Bank Elementary School. The P.T.O. works with the school administration to provide extra activities and programs for the students. All parents of Red Bank School students are invited to join the P.T.O.
Meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend. The meeting minutes are sent home with students each month along with the monthly activity schedule, so that those parents who cannot attend are still informed about P.T.O. activities. Comments and questions are welcomed by the P.T.O. Officers.
What Does the P.T.O. Provide?
Listed below are just some of the activities the P.T.O. supports throughout the school year:
Back -to-School Night
T-shirts for new students and
Kindergarten children
Teacher luncheon
Money for purchasing new and innovative
teaching items
4th Grade Memory Book and Pizza
Party
Book Fair
Santa's Secret Workshop
Family Night with Santa
4th Grade Trip
Various Student Assemblies
Family Roller Skating Night
New Playground Equipment (Large and
Small Equipment)
Some of the money is received from the membership dues families pay when they join. The bulk of the money is raised throughout the year through various fund-raisers, pretzel sales, and hoagie sales. All money raised is used for school activities.
What Can You Do For The P.T.O ?
The P.T.O needs your financial support through membership dues and participation in the various fund-raisers. Members are not "required" to participate in activities but any help they can offer is appreciated. Members who are not available during the day can help by providing baked goods for functions or by setting up displays or food for evening activities.
