The PTO Reps. are an important asset to the PTO Board. They are our link to the classroom parents. Assist in giving information about PTO meetings, upcoming events, activities and help in obtaining volunteer assistance for school functions. Being a PTO Rep is a great way to establish a relationship with old and new parents.

Footprints: A program presented last year by Maryetta Casey SMS Parent.
Footprints would be a way for our children to become more involved in furthering their faith.

A Service Project has been suggested; each class would come up with an idea to leave footprints thus showing goodwill and faith in our classroom, school, church, community etc. Or a way to show others they can give of themselves and spread their faith in other ways: such as acts of kindness, sharing, pleasant smile, etc.
Footprints Committee: Co-Chairs: Maryetta Casey and Melissa Welborn Assist: PTO Rep and Teachers

Co-Chairs will present this to the teachers at the faculty meeting.
PTO has put money aside if class is in need of funds, but must be approved by Footprints Committee.
