Heights Elementary Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) provides wonderful opportunities for parents to work with the administration and staff to provide the most engaging and well-round learning environment for our students!

 

What we do: 

•  Sponsor educational programming:  Every student participates- we work with teachers to bring in curriculum-relevant enrichment programs for each grade, as well as school-wide programs.

• Foster community & school spirit through social events (Kindergarten playdates, family events, school-wide events)

• Support the Heights mission to create an inclusive, caring and engaging community

• Organize teacher appreciation events, i.e. Welcome Back Lunch in Sept., staff breakfasts throughout the year, and Teacher Appreciation events in May

• Provide funding for the specials- art, music, gym, technology & library through donation drives

• Provide mini-grants & annual stipends to teachers to develop their curriculum and classrooms

• Purchase items for the school as needed for the playground, Heights garden and office

• Work closely with the Art teacher and Sharon town officials to get the Heights Mural project going this school year--stay tuned!

• Provide direct opportunities for students to engage in community service (food drives for Sharon Pantry, Main Spring lunch program)

• Encourage Heights school spirit by having Spirit Weeks at school and many opportunities for students to wear their Heights Hedgie gear
