Following Article II of our By-Laws, the Purpose of
the John Paul II Academy PTO is:
- To promote understanding and cooperation between home and school.
- To assist the principal and the teachers in any capacity needed to improve
and strengthen the quality of Catholic education in our school.
-
To work together to assure that the students of our school have the opportunities to develop to
their full potential.
-
To organize and promote activities to achieve these goals.
In practice, this
translates into the organization
and implementation of a vast
array of activities with the
underlying goal of supporting
and improving
virtually every aspect of the
process of educating our
children - in mind, body,
and spirit.
All these activities
present opportunities for
everyone from parents,
grandparents and care
givers, to friends and
neighbors to contribute
their time,
talent, treasure, and
prayers.
Examples of PTO major
fundraisers over the years
include the Magazine Drive,
Trivia Night, Taste of JPIIA,
and Titan Talent.
Ongoing fundraising by the
PTO
includes Market Day, box
tops, soup labels, Kroger
gift cards, and the Target
REDcards. These
efforts have evolved and
continue to evolve in order
to keep
these fundraisers productive and cast as
wide a net as possible.
Notable initiatives funded
or partially funded by the
PTO include Minds in
Motion, archery equipment,
technology upgrades, the 8th
grade trip, graduation,
and $500 scholarships for
one boy and one girl to
attend a Catholic High
School.
The PTO also organizes the
room parents; hosts the
skating parties; plans
staff,
parent, grandparent, and
student appreciation events;
and provides the teachers
with a stipend to help set
up their classrooms each
year.
The best ways to get
involved are to indicate
your interests on a
Got-a-Minute
form available in the
Registration packet or by
calling the school office.
Also,
watch for notices in the
Wednesday folder.
I encourage everyone to get
involved in any way
possible. All help
given is
greatly needed, appreciated,
and rewarding.

2012-2013 PTO President
