Who Makes Up the PTO

You would work closely with Sarah McNeeley who is the current co-president and has now been on the PTO for two years. You can read more about the president position here. If you are interested in this position or would like to learn more, please reach out for a conversation. If you are wondering if you are qualified - you probably are! No event planning experience is required, but you do need a willingness to learn and some time each week to devote to the position - anywhere from 1-8 hours per week.
VPs of Fundraising (2)

All PTO Board Members are expected to attend all General and Board meetings and are supportive of all PTO events and efforts. They are a great point of contact for the community about the happenings of the Brown Elementary School.
