Ann Smith Elementary

PTO

Parent Teacher Organization (PTO)

The PTO at Ann Smith Elementary is dedicated to making our school a great place to be. During the transition from the last school year to the next, we are searching for volunteers. You may want to commit to an entire year of service as a project chairman or board member. Or, you may prefer to volunteer a couple of hours, here and there. Whatever you can do, however you can help, we want to match you with the volunteer opportunity perfect for you.

If you have a particular interest, enter your volunteer information at www.annsmith.ptomanager.com. Or, you can email Dixie Livingston, co-president, at ericdixie@yahoo.com.
