Five (or Six) Months Left in the School Year
Happy New Year to all our PTO, PTA, HSA friends! Did you have a chance to re-charge over your holiday break? Are you ready to do great things in 2011? Flipping over the calendar in a new year is always energizing for me -- fresh possibilities, new ideas, a clean slate. But where school is concerned, it's also a bit daunting. Only 6 more months of school (in some of your cases, 5). Gulp. So much to accomplish on the PTO front. That's where resolutions or goals come in! Just to write them out lends clarity, purpose and a new sense of calm.

Funny Video helps Schools in Need
The neat (no pun intended) thing is that by sharing this video you’ll be helping schools that are struggling financially get the cleaning supplies they need. Bounty is going to make a one-time donation of $200,000 worth of paper towels (retail value) to schools in need if they get 2,000,000 views by Jan. 31st (with distribution help by PTO Today).

My Tip of the Week: Make New Parents Feel Welcome
If you're a PTO leader, then you probably know most of the key players at your school -- the principal, your fellow officers, the teachers, the most-involved parents. For you, attending events and meetings is a comfortable thing.

My Tip of the Week: Make Your Principal a Hero
If you have a great principal who supports your efforts, take every chance you get to let your whole school community know that. In your newsletter, at your events, even in personal conversations, publicize your principal's support and how much your group appreciates that support. It's well worth it.
