Thoreau Elementary PTO

Next PTO Meeting - Tuesday, December 12th @ 7-8pm (Thoreau Library)

Cheer Drive


Please help us ensure that all Thoreau students and families have a holiday meal and toys to celebrate this season!

An adult can drop off toys, books or food items at the main office or in the back parking lot during the following days/times from now until December 15.

Or you can order items from the Amazon Wish List and ship them directly to Thoreau.



SCHOLASTIC BOOK FAIR

We appreciate everyone who joined us at this year’s Scholastic Book Fair, from our volunteers to those who purchased books for their families and/or staff. 

At the end of the fair, the PTO also elected to purchase the balance of books requested by Thoreau Staff using some funds from a literacy-focused donation. 

A huge thank you to Lisa Hempstead and Melissa Norstedt for their leadership with this event.

STELLA'S FUNDRAISER

Thank you to everyone who ordered from Stella's! Pick up is on Tuesday, November 21nd between 2:30 and 4:30pm at the Thoreau Upper Playground.


WE'RE LOOKING FOR HELP!


Please check out our volunteer needs here.

A reference of current PTO Board and committee roles can be found here.  Have an idea of something you want to lead or questions about getting involved? please email PTO Co-President, Cherish.

VOLUNTEER FOR LUNCH AND RECESS SUPERVISION

Thoreau has three school staff supervisors in the cafeteria; teachers and other staff are outside supervising recess.  AND we would love more volunteers to help us out.  It is a great time to see your children and support our school community.  

Please sign up through this SignUp Genius.  We will have two slots available for each lunch/recess slot each day.  The hour and 5 minute slots are for BOTH lunch and recess.  If you are unable to make it to the slot you signed up for,  no worries.  You can ask a fellow parent from Thoreau to cover, or sign up another time.  


THOREAU GEAR


We have two great options for Thoreau gear!
