We Need You!
We are in dire need of PTO volunteers. Samuelson PTO is involved with many activities such as Walk-A-Thon, Fun Night, Go The Distance Day, 5th Grade Party, and so much more! The more volunteers we have, the more opportunities there are for your child. Help us come together as a team and make the 2018-2019 school year the best one yet!
