• Creating a posterboard with important facts about your country/culture (we will supply the posterboard)
• Setting up a table displaying cultural items, artifacts, clothing, toys, books, etc. (we will supply the table)
• Providing food (150 bite-sized portions), as well as any necessary utensils, plates, and napkins
• Sending a detailed food ingredient list by March 25th

Seeking a Co-Treasurer for Elm PTO 2026-27

Are you interested in helping our PTO next year? We are seeking a parent to be co-treasurer on our executive board. Duties include (but not limited to):
• Categorizing transactions in Quickbooks
• Purchasing items online (i.e., Amazon, etc.) for teachers/staff
• Issuing expense reimbursements (as needed)
• Reconciliation of budget line items
• Assisting with filing taxes yearly

Attending the monthly PTO meetings (first Monday of the month), is preferred, but not required. Most of the work is done at home. The benefit to committing now? You will have the opportunity to shadow our current co-treasurers to be adequately prepared for next year. One co-treasurer will be staying on for next year as well, so veteran experience will be on-hand. Please email: president@elmschoolpto.org with any questions or if interested in submitting your name for consideration!
