    Hospitality
    The Hospitality committee provides refreshments for monthly meetings and other meetings or receptions as they arise.  Morning meeting fare is generally a “Box of Joe” with some type of breakfast food.  The principal may request refreshments for a special meeting or anything that the PTO hosts.  Anyone can donate goods as suggested by the Hospitality Chairperson (they do not have to be on the committee).  Donations can be any bought or homemade food items, water bottles, coffee, juice, or other beverage, tablecloths or flowers, etc.  Term is for the school year, September to June.  We use Sign-up Genius and it is the chairperson’s responsibility administer the sign-up.

    Teacher Appreciation Luncheons
    Held in December and May, on Early Release Days, these luncheons give us a chance to thank our wonderful faculty and staff with a bountiful luncheon.  This has always been a first-class event that gets almost 100% attendance.  Parents donate sandwiches, salads, soups, desserts, drinks, etc., and volunteers are needed to set up, serve food, and clean-up after.  Sign-up sheets for this will be passed around at monthly meetings, as well as via email.
