Thanks for coming back and catching up with us. Can you believe that in a few short weeks our kids will be saying farewell to their current teachers (some students will be saying farewell to Irving Elementary) and starting what will hopefully be a warm and long summer! I for one, can't believe how far we have come this year and everything we have accomplished. In this, your May newsletter, we hope to let you know just how much we have done and fill you in on what's in store for the rest of the month and even a little bit of what we would like to accomplish next year! Sit back and enjoy, we wrote this just for you!

There's nothing more important to us, than you and your kids. All of us here in the PTO office started this organization because we believe our kids deserve more and that their school needs more. As parent volunteers ourselves, we know just how hard it can be to find the time to help. We also know what it feels like to not be able to help. We're here to tell you we understand and we care for you just the same! Being a member of the PTO doesn't mean you have to give of yourself at an event or donate the last few dollars you have to a fundraiser. Being a member of the PTO means that we value your opinion and while we know everyone can't make it to every meeting or event, a note or an e mail or a phone call when you're able is just as valuable to us.

The Irving Elementary Parent PTO is more than just fundraising. Fundraising is really just a necessary evil as school budgets are requiring more and more cuts. It is our privilege that we are able to provide the supplies, equipment and activities that our school budgets can no longer cover. We are only able to do that through our Irving Elementary families willingness to participate in our fundraisers. Fall Family Festival, Holiday shop, holiday wrapping, the sweetheart dance, are some of the ways we raise money for items such as classroom supplies, literacy support, assemblies and most of all the playground we’ve all been dreaming about. We are about men and women working together toward a common goal. That goal, simply stated is creating a better school and a better educational experience for our children. We strive to create an atmosphere where teachers, administrators, and support staff can do their best work - and so can our children. There's so much more that can be done and we need your help. We look forward to seeing all that can be and will be accomplished this upcoming school year when we come together, as a group and as a community to enhance and maximize the education of every child.

If you ever have any questions about anything PTO related, you can ALWAYS reach out. We will do our best to answer every question you have! There are SO MANY ways to get a hold of us. Check them all out below!
