"Mention the word PTO to most parents and they envision a group of moms sitting around drinking coffee planning one or two events for their school. Today's PTO is anything but this stereotype. With school districts around the nation facing enormous budget cuts, today's PTO has become a critical source of funding to supplement these cuts in addition to sponsoring event the kids will always remember. Our PTO is literally run like a business in order to achieve our purpose 'Create Fun, Have Fun, Raise Funds.'
In 5 years, we have gone from raising $20,000 annually to raising $105,000 annually. We have opened a second building to our K-6 school and gone from 5 events per year to almost daily after school activities and major events every 2-3 weeks. We have over 30 committees and 90 chairpersons who function as independent departments and are held accountable to their goals. We not only provide a vital source of income to the school, but event more importantly, we provide memories for years to come. We could not have accomplished the above without best practices, templates, historical data and tools made available to the officers, chairs and volunteers. PTOM is a one-of-a-kind solution to managing Parent Teacher Groups."Kristi Watson, PTO Officer
"As a current chair and former co-treasurer, I've experienced and seen firsthand how much work it takes to run our organization consisting of 90+ chairs and 32 committees. We created a strong foundation built on previous successes with documented best practices, templates and procedures. This allowed us to facilitate smooth transitions and reduce training time. Thanks to the PTOM program we spend more time improving what we do instead of just organizing what we do. Our success will directly impact the success of our children and that, is priceless."Stephanie Morris, Octoberfest Chair/former Treasurer
