Get Involved in 2014/15!

Our goal in 2014-15 is to have as many parents involved as possible. It doesn't matter how small a commitment you can make, we'd love to have you engaged.

Sprague has always thrived on its rich parent involvement. Next year is a critical transition year as we welcome in new principal, Ms. Snyder. Let's ensure she has a successful first year! 

Work full-time? 
How about helping organize an evening social at a local restaurant?

Kids in preschool? 
Choose a more flexible position, like updating the website or blog!

Available only part of the year? 
Help run one of our many fundraisers and social events!

Interested in a role with more impact?
Consider a board position.

Don't know anyone on PTO?
We're friendly and we'd love to have you involved! 

Please talk to a representative of the Sprague PTO about ways you can help. You can also send current Vice President Matthew McKay an email at mgmckay@gmail.com if you would like to learn more.

Below is a partial list of ways to help next year:

Executive Board	Positions	Description
President ('14/'15)		Matthew McKay mgmckay@gmail.com
Vice President(s)		Great way to try out a little of everything throughout the year, and help set the direction of the PTO.
Treasurer(s)		Prefer numbers? The Treasurer/ Assistant Treasurer is a great way to make an impact.
Secretary		Carrie Reepmeyer
Chair - Ways & Means	- Spring Party/ Auction - Cookie Walk - Teacher Raffle - Book Fair - Remember Me Books - Sprague Store - School Picture Day - Box Tops	Organize and administer fundraisers throughout year. Larger fundraisers, like the Spring Party and Cookie Walk, require multiple individuals. In many cases leaders for these events have been identified, but we are looking for helpers. A great way to make a significant impact in a short period of time, and meet new people.
Chair - Social	- K & New Family - Parent Socials - Grade Socials - Welcome Table - Ski Trip - Year-end Picnic	Organize and administer community building events that enable parents and families spend time together and have fun. We are looking for a Social Chair to oversee the events, as well as parents to help out at events.
Chair - Communications	- Blog - Website - Summer Mailing - Directory/ Handbook - Yearbook - External Publicity	Oversee communications by the PTO. These roles are critical to ensuring everyone understands what is happening. Parents with blog and website experience, but with only limited availability, may find these positions attractive.
Chair - Enrichment	- Room Parents - Environmental Science - Creative Arts & Sciences - Summer Reader's Breakfast	Where the "rubber meets the road." Help administer the actual programs that the PTO funds.  Highly rewarding experience as you see first-hand the impact of the PTO.
Community Service	- Teacher Appreciation - Lost and Found - Field Day - Wellesley Parade - Garden Club	Give back to the community in many ways, from helping organize teacher appreciation lunches to organizing for the parade. Also a highly rewarding experience for people who wish to say 'thank-you' directly.
Town Liaisons	- METCO - Committee 21 - POPS - Cradles to Crayons	Help Sprague stay informed with town committees and activities. For those people interested in understanding the broader scope of impact of the PTO.
PAC Representative		Help create a responsive school environment for families with children with disabilities.
