Dear Parents,
American Preparatory Academy PTO would like to welcome you to our school. For those of you who are unfamiliar with us, we are a volunteer organization made up of parents, teachers, administrators, and support staff who are all dedicated to the successful education of our children. The APA PTO works hard to help make the school year both enjoyable and exciting for students, teachers, and parents.

The purpose of our organization is to aid the students and staff by providing support for educational and recreational needs. To promote open communication between administration, teachers, and parents and to encourage APA school spirit and pride. The PTO uses its resources, both manpower and monetary, to support our school in many ways.

Maybe you didn’t see them last year, but we were there…
· Seniors Graduation Event Decorations
· Elementary & Middle School Graduation Events Decorations
· Seniors Events Monetary donations
· Teachers Appreciation week luncheon, gifts & monetary donations
· Athletic Trophies
· School Open House Bouncy House
· School Open House Decorations
· School Choice event planning
· Monetary Donations for Good behavior Gift Auctions
· Monetary Donations for Food Donations
· Monetary prices for school competitions and fundraising events.

We are looking forward to meeting families, parents, and grandparents that would like to get involved with our PTO this academic year. We encourage you not only to join our organization but get involved as well! Everything we do is based on volunteers, and we are always looking for those of you to help make a difference in the lives of our children. Every positive imprint we make on our children can go a long, long way. If you can give some time, day or evenings, please join us! Many hands make the job easier.

You can participate and help us make the 2015-16 a great school year. We will need as many volunteers as possible, and are flexible enough to work around your schedule. Our group will meet approximately every two months to discuss events, plan fundraisers to enhance all programs, and share ideas. This is a wonderful way to find out what is happening at our school from the PTO's perspective.

We in the PTO believe that it is the ultimate importance that we do everything we can to enhance the learning environment of our children as they truly are our future. It will take all of us working together to ensure that this happens.

We look forward to getting to know you!
