Welcome to Johnny
Appleseed School! We hope that your family's time here will
be a rewarding and enriching experience. We'd like to take
this opportunity to explain a little about the
Parent-Teacher Organization (PTO) at Johnny Appleseed. Our
PTO is "open door" and "hands on" — every parent or guardian
of a JA student is invited and encouraged to participate.
Our school is truly fortunate to have extremely dedicated
and generous parent and staff volunteers, all investing
time, energy and funding to make Johnny Appleseed School a
wonderful place to learn. We realize that our volunteers'
time and resources are important and appreciate whatever
each parent can give to our school. Our aim is to give
parents the opportunity to become involved with their
child's education because so many parents realize how
important that involvement is to their child's success in
school. Reading to your child's class, helping out with the
Book Fair, chaperoning field trips, and participating in
teacher-led classroom projects are just some of the
activities that are available to parents during the school
day.
There are also many ways to get involved and meet other
parents outside of the classroom. Led by a representative
board, the PTO holds monthly evening meetings, typically the
first Tuesday of the month to accommodate work schedules.
The meetings provide up-to-date information on JA's
fundraising efforts, allow for open discussion, and often
address current topics of interest to parents. We try to
arrange social events that are family-friendly as well as
ones that are geared to adults only. The PTO has many
volunteer opportunities — there is something for everyone
who wants to get involved regardless of time constraints.
Parent volunteers send the message to their children that
they care — about them and about their school. The results
of the investment by the PTO in our students and the school
is visible not only by walking the halls, but by seeing its
effect on our children's education. We look forward to
meeting and working with you all!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU! THANK YOU!
Leominster WalMart recently presented Johnny
Appleseed School with a check for $2,500.00
toward our “Apples to Apples” Technology
initiative.
Michael Maggelet of WalMart worked with the
PTO to secure a grant from the WalMart
Foundation. We can’t thank Michael and
WalMart enough and look forward to a
continued partnership |

Did you get a chance
to see our very own Mrs. Kate Martino,
second grade teacher, on a promotional
highlight on Channel 5?? Yes, that was her,
standing right in front of Johnny Appleseed
School! It should be running for a little
while, so check Channel 5 often-we couldn’t
be prouder to have Mrs. Martino representing
our school to such a broad audience! |
