Notre Dame Elementary School Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) Membership:
We welcome all parents and guardians to join our Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) and participate in the monthly meetings. There are no dues required, only a commitment to supporting our NDE teachers, staff and students.
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) has two objectives:
- Fundraising for our school
- Fostering community through volunteerism that enriches the experience of our children
Fundraising
Our major fundraiser is "Christmas at Ralston", which includes an elegant luncheon and a wonderful evening GALA event. The whole NDE community enjoys a raffle of beautifully decorated Christmas trees and an evening of food, wine, music and a live auction. Other events that raise money include our book fair, and NDE product sales.
Community Volunteerism
Parent volunteers also help with "Art in Action", the Hot Lunch program, parking lot procedures, library aides, the uniform exchange, yearbook, and act as Room Parents. Parents also coordinate events for Teacher Appreciation Week and actively serve as coaches and assistant coaches for our athletic teams.
We rely on solely on parent volunteers to achieve our objectives so we encourage you to please get involved!
Notre Dame Elementary Parent Teacher Organization Mission Statement
We, the Parent Teacher Organization of Notre Dame Elementary, support our children, faculty and school community to provide a solid education for our children in a Catholic, caring environment that will enable our children to become lifelong learners and contributing members of society.
