The Lakewood Montessori PTO would like to welcome all new and returning students and families back to school!

The PTO was formed in 2006 and its mission is simply to support our wonderful school and the hard working teachers and staff.  Through fundraising efforts, both large and small, the PTO is able to donate funds for a variety of uses for the school.  The PTO has used fundraising proceeds to establish the school’s library and purchase playground equipment, landscaping upgrades, a laminator, a kiln, Montessori bell sets and other Montessori supplies for the classrooms.  In the 2010-2011 school year alone, the PTO was able to purchase $2,000 worth of library books!

For the PTO to be effective, it is essential to have parental involvement from as many parents as possible. Many working parents feel that they cannot be included in the PTO because they cannot come to every meeting or be at the school during the day. There are endless ways you can help. Whatever your own level of flexibility, Lakewood Montessori PTO always appreciates its parent volunteers, as do our teachers and staff. Keep in mind that by volunteering, you will get to enjoy interacting with the children, become friends with other parents, and accomplish things that truly make a difference for our school.  Some of our past fundraising events include a Read-a-thon, School cookbook sales, T-shirt and Small Hands Catalog sales, Square 1 Art projects made by the children, a Fall Chili Feed and Bake Sale, collecting Box Tops for Education and our most exciting fundraiser – the Art Auction.  These events have been very successful as well as enriching.

PTO meetings are held on the second Thursday of the month from 6:00-7:00 pm and childcare is provided.  Meetings consist of updates on current projects, discussion of past projects, budget decisions and planning upcoming fundraisers. In addition, most meetings include a presentation by one of the teachers on an aspect of your child’s education at Lakewood Montessori.  Please join us - this is your PTO and we value your ideas and need your energy.

Thank you!
