The Middle School PTO will be holding their Annual Meeting on May 22 @6pm in the Middle School North Library and over Zoom. At this meeting we will hold our elections for next school year, vote on the 2024-2025 PTO budget, and vote to amend the by-laws. The proposed amendments to the by-laws are as follows: to shorten the term to one year for each of the positions except co-president, to add the position Fundraising Chair, and to allow someone to serve consecutive terms in a position, up to 4 years, provided they run for re-election. Please consider joining us. We’d love to hear from you! Zoom link to follow.
