PTO MEETINGS A SUCCESS
 |
Each
semester, Director of Schools Dr. Rebecca Sharber meets with
the principals and PTO presidents. The meetings are divided
between elementary, middle and high schools.
It’s an opportunity for Dr. Sharber to thank parents for their tireless dedication. It’s
also a chance for the parents and principals to communicate and share ideas
for improvement. |
|
This year, the meetings were
held during the week of September 10. Dr. Sharber began
each gathering with a back to school update. Some of the
other topics of discussion included a new state law on
fundraising, as well as an update on growth and construction
in the county. |

"The PTO meetings with Dr. Sharber are extremely
beneficial," said Kenrose Elementary PTO President
Ann Rankin. "They provide a forum in which
ideas can be shared, questions can be answered and
concerns can be addressed." |
Fairview High PTO President
Kim Allison agrees. She says, "It is a great way to
learn more in depth about the school system. It is
also a wonderful opportunity to meet other volunteers and
share ideas to better our schools."
"Meeting with Dr. Sharber
in a group setting helps facilitate better communication
between the Central Office and a school's PTO," said
Page Middle PTO Co-President Deb Phelps. "It also
provides an excellent opportunity to share ideas among
fellow PTO Presidents."
The next round of meetings will be held
in the spring. |
