A Word From The President

Thanks for stopping by. PTO stands for Parent Teacher Organization. We are a non-profit organization run by parents
just like YOU! Our purpose is to support and enrich the school environment at Blue Hills for all students and staff.

PTO Hosts Events Such As:

• Field Trips
• Trunk Or Treat
• Santa’s Workshop
• Fun Day

Meetings
We meet once a month on the 1 st Monday of the month. If for some reason school is out on Monday, we will meet on
that Tuesday. Meetings are held in the Blue Hills Library. Check out our Facebook page for times as they will alternate
between 5:30 pm and 4:30 pm. Come join us!

Facebook
If you are a parent or friend of Blue Hills, the Blue Hills PTO Facebook page is a must. It is a great place to post a
question, get information about events, and stay connected. You will be asked to answer two simple questions to join.

How Can You Be Involved

• Membership – All of your $5 membership goes directly to fund events and projects for the students and staff.
  This is one of the biggest ways you (and spouses, grandparents, aunts, uncles and more) can support Blue Hills
  PTO. Your membership is not a commitment to volunteer or attend meetings (although we welcome that).
• Volunteer – All events rely on volunteers. Whether you can volunteer one hour or all day, we need volunteers.
• Fundraisers – Because events cost money (and we like to provide FREE events), help with fundraisers. Encourage
  your child to participate in the Fall and Spring fundraisers (Club’s Choice and the Apex Fun Run)

If you are interested in helping us out in any way, have a special talent, or a connection you can share, please feel free to
call or email me.

I look forward to hearing from you!
