Schmucker PTO Newsletter
April 2019
From the President
The Schmucker PTO is pleased to be offering two $500 scholarships this year. If you know graduating Penn High School seniors, who are planning to go to college, vocational or technical school, and also attended Schmucker Middle School for three years, encourage them to apply. The application can be picked up at the Penn High School Counseling Office and must be returned by April 18th to the Penn Counseling Office.
These scholarships are another way the PTO is able to make a difference in your children's lives, and these efforts are all possible thanks to your continued support! We appreciate everyone who participated in the Five Guys Restaurant Night, those who turned in Box Tops, and those who donated items to the Staff Appreciation Breakfast for Lunch event.
You can also support the PTO when planning your spring plantings. Sandy Duffield and Cindy Basil are hard at work planning for our Varner's Flower Voucher fundraiser. Read more details in this newsletter.
As we plan for next year we are still in urgent need of volunteers to fill Board and Committee Chair positions. Please consider helping out the PTO. Many of these positions can mostly be done from home and require only a few hours per month. If you are interested in volunteering or would like more information you may contact me at schmuckerpto@phm.k12.in.us.
Lastly, all parents are welcome to attend the last PTO meeting of the year on May 2, at 1 pm at Schmucker.
With Spartan Pride,
Linnea Lannon
