ST. CHARLES NORTH HIGH SCHOOL PTO
PTO Meeting
Please join us on April 14th in the SCN LRC for our next PTO meeting. We will cotinue with post Prom planning along with the 2026-2027 school year events. We are in NEED of new leadership as many of our dedicated volunteers are graduating. Volunteering with your child’s school PTO is incredibly rewarding in ways that go far beyond the time you give. It offers a chance to build meaningful connections with teachers, staff, and other families while directly supporting the students’ experience. Seeing the impact of your efforts—whether it’s a successful event, extra resources for classrooms, or simply the smiles on students’ faces—makes it all worthwhile. Being involved not only strengthens the school community, but also allows you to play an active role in creating a positive, supportive environment where all students can thrive.
Post Prom HELP NEEDED
We cannot say it enough - it takes a lot of volunteers to make Post Prom the fantastic event it is. Please consider joining us on Saturday, May 2nd (until the early hours of Sunday, May 3rd). It is a late night, but it is fun and rewarding. We literally cannot host this event without your help. To those who have already signed up - Thank you!
