At the old school I went to lots and lots of events. I also went to the meetings that helped to plan said events. It was a packed house full of wonderful parents who really wanted to be an active support system for the educations of our children. Last year was the first year at the new school and it was a very hard year to volunteer for much at all. This year TWO little Pecks are at Smithfield and I take motherhood quite seriously. I have already clocked in for five events which is pretty good for mid-October. Plus let us not forget the entire day I will spend helping out the new program...more about that soon.
I took it a step further and went to my first PTO meeting. All 14 of us sat there and discussed everything from fund raisers (be prepared to order some stuff oh loved ones :) to upcoming events. I was also somehow signed up to be a room parent...yet another new thing! The meeting was very informative and taken very seriously by a group of amazing people. I applaud them for getting so much done and making the lives of our children even better. I would love to be even more involved and take on a more active role but I do what I can when I can. Now, remember to keep a budget for holiday shopping that will not only give someone a lovely gift but will also help a sweet little school raise some funds!!!
