Your membership shows support for all of the programs that F.O.R.C.E sponsors. Without your membership support, our school could risk going without art, book fair, science fair, scholarship support and many more programs. When you join, you are included in our informational e-mail mailings that list all activities and opportunities for PTO members. There are many chances to volunteer (in school and from home), donate items to the school (Such as healthy snacks for the counseling office, box tops, etc.), and receive PTO discounts on school related functions.

I would love to help, but I just don’t have time…

By becoming a member, you are in no way obligated to volunteer ever! Yes, PTO is an organization that is run by volunteers, but we are an advocacy group for children, not a volunteer club. More than half of PTO members work full time jobs outside of the home, and we have just as many Dads who are members vs. Moms. Many members utilize their jobs and work experience to help the PTO just as much, if not more, than members who volunteer at the school. Many jobs offer volunteer matching (monetary donations to our school!), or offer products or equipment for donation that can benefit the school. And while we encourage members to come to meetings, you are never required.
