TOP TEN REASONS I CAN'T MAKE IT TO A PTO MEETING
1. I CAN'T AFFORD IT ~ Quincy PTO does not require or accept dues. It does not cost a dime to attend. As a matter of fact, we'll provide refreshments. There are some awesome door prizes you could win just for showing up. Odds of winning are better than the lottery. But you can’t win if you don’t play.
2. I DON'T KNOW ANYONE THERE ~ We don't know you either, but we'd like to! Come get to know the parents, teachers and volunteers who work with and for your children.
3. I DON'T KNOW WHEN THE MEETINGS ARE ~ We generally meet on the 2nd Tuesday of the month unless there is a holiday or if school is getting out (don't tease me...).
4. I DON'T HAVE TIME ~ Meetings usually last less than an hour. Most months we will have a presentation following the meeting. Your kid(s) will be involved in at least one, come support them.
5. I'M TOO TIRED ~
6. I WORK AT NIGHT ~ Meetings last approximately one hour. There will be coffee. Send Grandma.
7. I CAN'T SAY 'NO' AND I'LL END UP DOING EVERYTHING ~ For the last time, Doing Everything is MY JOB and you can't have it! Look in the mirror. Practice saying "no. No.NO!" Seriously, we have a great group and everyone pitches in.
8. I DON'T HAVE A BABY SITTER ~ Bring them with you. Or better yet, have dad, grandma, or an older sibling watch them.
9. THERE WILL BE LOTS OF OTHER PARENTS THERE SO YOU WON'T NEED ME ~ PAHLEEEEEESE! If we had a dime for everyone who thought that, we wouldn't need any fund-raisers! We Need and Want YOU!
10. I DON'T KNOW WHAT PTO STANDS FOR... ~ Please come to your Parent Teacher Organization meetings!
