ARNOLD MEMORIAL ELEMENTARY SCHOOL PTO

PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION:

A primary source of support for our school comes from our Parent-Teacher Organization.  This organization is especially interested in the welfare of the students in the community and strives to help in any way possible.  Parents are urged to join the Arnold PTO and to attend the meetings.  Monthly meetings are usually combined with a school program or other family event.  All parents are invited to attend all PTO meetings whether or not you are a member.  Membership for individuals is only $3.00.  Family memberships are $5.00.  All money collected goes directly to benefit the school.    The 2005-2006 PTO officers will be elected in the fall.  Our next meeting is September 20 when school superintendent Dr. Denning wil lead a discussion on program opportunities for Arnold. Your input is needed, so please make plans to attend.

Here are some notes and upcoming events to look out for:
