Parent Power -- The PTO Connection

We have a vision. A vision of parents and educators working together to better our school.  You can call it PTO, call it PTA, or call the group whatever you decide.  Shir Hadash needs a group of  parents to gather together to develop new and exciting connections between our school and our families.  Whether you get your kicks planning lunch at a hot dog place with the sixth grade class, or a gathering the little ones for pizza dinner before a Shabbat service, we want your help.  You may want to organize a mini-fundraiser, help develop and maintain a birthday calendar of our students, or plan a Purim carnival. If you have college students, you may want to help with our plans to send off packages to our college students.  The possibilities are endless, the potential for personal growth is even greater.

Starting up a parent organization is a great way to meet new people, use your creativity, and do something wonderful for your children. You show them you care and that Shir Hadash is important to you.  Many people make friends for life volunteering at school.

This is a chance to get in on the formation of a new group, a chance to bring room parents together and create new adventures for you and your child.  If you would like to be a part of what promises to be a very cool thing, please email Education Director Emily Ascher at eddirector@shir-hadash.org.

It just takes that one special person to start, perhaps it's you.
