Our school doesn't send out a newsletter so I decided to start one for the PTO. I prepare the newsletter monthly, our PTO vice president adds her two cents, and then we copy it ourselves and send it home. I feel it's important to keep our parents informed.
we start ours with a list of thanks to volunteers from the previous month's activities...... then we go on to old news, like how much a fundraiser made, we then list reminders, then we list upcoming events, and have a section near the end that's the same every month, regarding on-going fundraisers like cartridge recycling... we close with something clever.. a seasonal recipe, a fun fact about our school.. or whatever......
You can also view ours at brentpto.com. Click on the newletter tab....We try to make ours a tool to tell parents what the PTO is doing and how we are supporting their children. We also use it to create a community -- hope it helps to see a couple done...
