About Barkell PTO
Who are the
members of the PTO?
Parents, teachers and our
Principal. If you have a child attending Barkell, you
are a member of the PTO.
What is the PTO
objective?
Our objective is to provide
funds, programs, resources and services that will enrich
the education of every child at our school.
Why does the PTO
fundraise?
To meet our objective and
provide items that are no longer covered by our school
budget, we must fundraise. Though it may not be our
favorite task, it is necessary. We must raise money to
continue providing our children with playground
equipment, school equipment, teacher supplies,
assemblies, and other experiences that we have in the
past.
Why should I get
involved?
We need your help and so do your
children. Volunteering doesn't have to mean a huge time
commitment. We understand it is increasingly more
difficult to find time to give, but please, whatever
your schedule allows, we have need of you! We have tasks
that can be performed in the evenings, during the day or
that don't even involve coming to the school at all.
