Executive Board Nominations for 2017-18
Are you looking for a way to get more involved at CRES and within the PTO? The PTO executive board member elections are currently open and nominations are due by midnight on March 24th. We are seeking nominations for President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary and Member-at-Large. Included in this newsletter is a job description for each position as it is written in the bylaws. Please review each and consider if you or another parent/guardian at CRES would be a good candidate for one of more of these offices. You may nominate yourself or someone else by completing the form and turning it into the CRES office or by emailing it to cumberlandroadelementarypto@gmail.com. The elections for the executive board will take place at our PTO Open Forum meeting on April 11. Please consider partnering with the teachers, staff, and administration in serving our kids by taking on a leadership role in the PTO.
Classroom CRES Fest Baskets
CRES Fest will be here before we know it, and a lot of great planning has already begun. Be on the lookout for an email from your room parents in the coming days, if you haven’t heard from them already. They will be communicating your child’s classroom auction basket theme and sharing ways for you to get involved!
CRES Fest Sponsorship
Are you a local business owner? Do you know someone that is? The CRES PTO is putting a call-out to local business owners interested in sponsorship opportunities for CRES Fest. CRES Fest is a family-friendly event with games, food trucks, a silent auction, and more, that will take place on Friday, April 28th. There are many different levels of sponsorships available.
