“The Johnny Appleseed PTO (Parent Teacher Organization) is an organization which brings together teachers, administrators, parents, and community members in an effort to positively impact, support and enhance the overall learning environment at Johnny Appleseed Elementary School. The PTO board is elected each year to represent the organization and facilitate the many functions necessary and we are always looking for new parents to join. Due to the current climate we are not holding our normal monthly meetings in person but always welcome questions/suggestions by email at jaschoolpto@gmail.com or on our Facebook page. One of the biggest a functions of the PTO is to raise funds to provide the students with additional educational opportunities they may not otherwise enjoy due to budgetary constraints. These activities include field trips, cultural events, family events, community events, and annual scholarships among others. We greatly appreciate constructive feedback and support to make the Johnny Appleseed community welcoming and successful for the benefit of the students. We are pleased and honored to be a part of the JA PTO and look forward to a great school year together.”

Hello Community Partner, I'm sharing our February calendar and flyers for two upcoming parenting programs. On February 2, we will offer a Parent Discussion on Remote Learning- Focusing on STEM (technology), and on February 9, through a collaboration with community partners, we are inviting parents to a Parent Cafe-Dealing with Big Emotions in Healthy Ways. See the attached flyers for details. We hope these will be a way to help support parents during this challenging time. There is availability for families to attend our free playgroups, enjoy a Storywalk at Barrett Park, and view weekly Storytimes posted on our Project Apples Facebook page. Kindly share these programs with families. Thank you, Lisa Novelli (978)534-3038
