Advice from PTO Today

The middle school PTO will definitely be different, but there are many ways to get involved and promote involvement. Often, parent groups are successful when they respect that the kids are getting older and they are starting to want to do some thing on their own. A successful tactic is to engage the kids and find out what they want to do for events and activities. If it is their idea, they are more likely to show up and enjoy it.

We've written plenty about middle school involvement so I 'll pass along some links to stories:
