Sarah Oldham is serving her second year as PTO President.
OLPH's PARENT-TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)

Do you want to get involved . . . Please call our President, Mrs. Sara Oldham at 951-637-0731.

Have you seen the newly-renovated library.  The PTO raised the funds for the renovation, and Mr. Bob Miechowisz did the handiwork.

Fundraising does not have to be dull. The OLPH PTO has organized the wildly popular Jogathon, the sumptuous Pasta Dinner for Open House, a Monte Carlo night, the mad fun at the yearly OLPH school picnic, the monthly pizza lunch (and other delectables) that our children enjoy at school lunch, and many other fun activities.  As parents of an OLPH student, you are invited to join and help create the best possible school environment for your children.

Thank you to the PTO and all the volunteers for the great movie nights held on Fridays about once-a-month. There's nothing like the smell of a barbecued hot dog to entice you for dinner. It truly makes your mouth water. It truly is a fun night and a great fundraiser.

ABOUT PTO

PARENT TEACHER ORGANIZATION (PTO)
(From the School Handbook)

The PTO is the community building and fund-raiser organizing body of the parent community. Its officers work closely with the Principal and obtain approval for fund-raising projects prior to the start of the project. It is an important unit for fostering a positive supporting home-school relationship that creates active interest in school life. Parents are given the opportunity to nominate and elect the executive officers of the PTO every two years. Three to four meetings are held each year, which are community-building events. Before major fund-raiser projects or these community events, the PTO officers hold planning / organizational meetings.

Annual PTO events are social, community-building events, usually associated with holidays, or fundraising, are gatherings to which the entire school family is invited.

Back to School Night is the first general PTO / School Advisory Board meeting in September. All parents / guardians are expected to attend. This is an orientation meeting designed to inform and to help parents understand the requirements and expectations of their student's classes and the direction in which the school is moving. It will also help parents understand more fully their responsibilities as parents / guardians of a student enrolled in Our Lady of Perpetual Help School.

The PTO sponsors the talent show.

The PTO also sponsors a major project for improving the school each year. The parents serve and contribute to these projects to accomplish a goal agreed upon by the administration and PTO Executive Board.
