Field Day
Some of the areas that the PTO helps to fund through Educational Enrichment are: field trips, start-up supplies for the teachers, program supplies for outclasses, items to be used to improve core subject instruction, staff development, and funds to aid special programs like reading recovery and guided reading.
The other main activities of Educational Enrichment involve parent volunteers. If you have some free time and would like to donate it to the school, we would love to have you.
Tutoring is one area that you can help out in and we are about to get underway. Reading tutors help students work on their reading and writing skills for approximately half an hour once per week. Math tutors help students struggling with basic math skills twice a week for 20-30 minutes. Both of these experiences can be very rewarding for parents and the students, but do require a yearlong commitment.
We will be having a Math and Science Night in the fall and a Reading and Writing Night in the Spring. These are fun evening events for the students and their families. We are looking for more people to help out with these programs.
We are looking for a chairperson for Equations League. If you would like to assist the 5th grade math teachers, please email Stephanie Northcutt, Adria Morrison and Kim Thaman, Educational Enrichment Coordinators, at ee@soepto.org. Other areas where you can volunteer are with Fifth Grade Celebration.
Thanks to all of you who have volunteered your time. Together we can enrich the school and the students.
