Atoka Elementary Families,

I want to welcome the new parents, guardians, and students as well as all those returning for another year. I am very excited to be the new President of the Atoka Elementary PTO! I have many ideas and goals for myself and for the school during the 2011-2012 school year.

I would like to thank everyone for their time and contributions during the 2010-2011 school year. The PTO was very successful in raising enough money to add to our existing playground. The new addition will be made in the very near future.

The goal for the new school year is to raise enough money through the fall carnival, fundraising, and donations to add new computers to each classroom. Adding additional computers will give the teachers and staff more tools to educate our children. In addition to this website, you can monitor our progress and keep updated on school events through our new Facebook page "Atoka Elementary PTO."

I want to take this opportunity to invite you to volunteer to help us meet this goal for our children. There are many ways you can be involved in this effort. Whether it is volunteering to help at the fall carnival, various fundraisers, or simply collecting/counting Boxtops. Just dedicating a few hours of your time will make a huge impact on our success. I welcome any ideas or suggestions anyone may bring to me or any PTO board member. Feel free to e-mail us at any time at atokapto@yahoo.com.

Sincerely,
Carrie Shigley
PTO President
