Pickerington Elementary School families please mark your calendar for December 12th from 6:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. PLSD will celebrate families, students and staff at the 2nd Annual Night of Engagement that will be held at the Wigwam. Dr. Briggs will share, "What our families and taxpayers can expect from the passage of our bond issue." The fun and fellowship will begin with highlighting our talented musicians, the Masked Singers, Kahoot, and plenty of refreshments for everyone. Let us represent PES!

This year we are losing key positions on the PTO.

Co-Presidents (1)

Secretary (1)- takes notes at meetings.

It is a lot of fun with a great group to work with. PTO provides many things from the GOOD program to the Book Vending Machine. As a mom of 4 I did not realize how much the PTO did for our school until I got involved. I thought the "school" provided that. Many of our programs and assemblies are funded through the PTO. We have money designated for field trips for each grade, help supply the PBIS store with items, STEAM Day, the license for Disney, plus budgets for each teacher and principal and so much more.

Please consider joining our team. We would like to have time to train whomever is taking over the positions so they are comfortable next year. It is wonderful being back in the school and taking an active role in not only our children's lives but also our community. Pickerington Elementary is an amazing school and we are excited to see such amazing changes take place.

You do not have to be a stay at home parent. Currently all our officers hold either a part time or full time job. If you would like any information on any position available feel free to email us at pickelempto@gmail.com

Thank you

Emily Haverfield
