Welcome to the La Vernia Primary PTO web site. Here you can find the latest information about upcoming meetings, contact names and numbers, fundraisers, and more.
Our next meeting is scheduled for Tuesday, October 21st at 6:30pm.
At our last meeting, the PTO voted to cancel the Halloween Carnival. Although the carnival has become somewhat of a tradition in La Vernia, the new rules regarding the distribution of certain foods (candy) to young students made the carnival difficult to host. We are sure that the carnival will be missed but we are focusing our efforts on several upcoming family events for the campus. Hopefully, we will create new and exciting “traditions” to replace the old.
Do you ever wonder what the PTO contributes?
Most recently, the PTO donated $10,000 to the Primary school. This money will be used to purchase the Scholastic Readers that students receive throughout the year, as well as continue with plans for a field track outside the first and second grade wings. A portion of this money is also intended to assist with the purchase of a marquee.
We purchased a 30x30 shade structure for the playground at a cost of
$4200. This structure will provide much needed shade for all children and
teachers.
We have completed the outdoor learning area between the office
and second grade wings. This area includes picnic tables,
art easels, sand/water tables, playhouse, and reading benches. We have fenced
the area
to ensure the safety of children at play!
During the 2001/2002 school year, the PTO purchasing 4 picnic table for our
campus. These tables are not only great for parent/child lunches but also for
rewarding students with the opportunity to eat outdoors with their teachers on
special occasions. These tables cost $250 each and were well worth the
expense. The PTO is proud that we could help!
A special thank you to all our parents! Without your ongoing support and
dedication, these accomplishments would not be possible.
