Some of Our Events:
PTSO’s calendar is jam packed with fun events designed to enrich our students, teachers and staff while building our OneToro culture. Here are just a few:
• Student Reward Events – we have 1 a quarter, each rewarding a different type of achievement, not just academics. We reward things any student can achieve like earning a certification or license, improving their grades as well as being nominated by a teacher. The kids love it and get a little competitive about earning it!
• First Friday Treat Cart - we load up a cart with treats and other things teachers and staff need and want and we let them pick their treat. Sometimes, this is sponsored by a family or a business. Most teachers and staff tell us it is their favorite day of the month, and we enjoy it too – it is an opportunity to show our appreciation!
• The PTSO Winter Semi-formal Dance is popular and a great time! We make fresh popcorn and spin fresh cotton candy, and the kids dance and enjoy!
• Teacher and Staff Appreciation Week in May is a focused time to give back and to show them we appreciate all they do all year long!
