WORKING TOGETHER
The Helen Keller PTO is dedicated to making our school the very best it can be. During the year, the PTO sponsors a variety of assemblies and other activities that help enrich the school day. Money for these events is raised through Yankee Candle and other fundraisers throughout the year.
Please support Helen Keller School through our upcoming fundraisers. Last year, we were able to sponsor assemblies for our students, Spring fest and much more. All of this was possible thanks to the generosity of parents.
Everyone is very welcome to attend our PTO meetings. We appreciate the help we have received from so many great volunteers and we look forward to meeting new parents.

FEBRUARY 2020 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT!
**FEBRUARY 2020 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT, Kristen Brosius!**
Hi, my name is Kristen Brosius. I’m a mom of four children, one at Grissom, one in 5th grade, a 4 year old and 1 year old. I’ve been volunteering at Helen Keller for 3 1/2 years now ever since we moved to Tinley Park. I love being involved with as many school functions as possible and so do my kids! I help with hot lunch as often as I can. My 4 year old asks every Monday and Friday morning if we’re going to school to help with lunch and see all her friends. Volunteering has brought me to meet so many friendly families and staff members. I’m so happy to give back by volunteering to this wonderful school as a thank you for all their hard work everyday!
Thank you Kristen!
JANUARY 2020 VOLUNTEER SPOTLIGHT!
**January Volunteer Spotlight, Amy Menconi!**
Hi, my name is Amy Menconi. I have a daughter at Grissom, one at Keller and one arriving in March. Being a working mom, I hated missing out on my child’s day. When I would ask how her day was, I would get “good.” I started volunteering seven years ago with hot lunch. I loved surprising my kids at lunch. I got to know their friends, teachers and other families. It gave me a glimpse of their school day. I try to volunteer as much as I can, to give back to our school. Also, to teach my children to give back. Besides volunteering, I work as a Medical Social Worker, Girl Scout Leader, Substitute Catechist and Substitute Lunch Mom. I love our school and all that they do for our children.
Thank you Amy for all that you do for the Helen Keller School and the PTO! :)
