All About Us

The mission of the South Row PTO is to bring together parents, teachers, and administrators to enhance the quality of the educational and social experience for all children at South Row.

Who is the South Row PTO?

As a South Row staffer or parent/guardian of a South Row student, you are automatically a member of the PTO- there is no fee to join! The success of the PTO is dependent upon our staff and families’ donation of time, items, and funding as we are a non-profit organization. By donating your time (volunteering), you have the opportunity to interact with staff & students, form connections with other South Row community members, and accomplish things that truly make a difference. As volunteers ourselves, the PTO board DEEPLY appreciates our staff & parent volunteers! We understand that for many, funds are tight & time is limited- we are truly grateful for whatever support you can offer.

What does the PTO do?

We raise funds to support enrichments as well as maintain the playground & provide recess equipment, staff appreciation, and events for our school community.

What are enrichment activities?

Enrichments are activities that supplement the curriculum, usually in the form of professional programs run by outside organizations like museums, Authors, STEM groups, Sports presentations and Live Action Historians.

How does it work?

Monthly meetings are a place for parents, caregivers, school staff, and administrators to come together. These are led by the PTO Board members. Covered topics include updates from school staff, school committee reports, event & activity planning, budget, etc. If you can’t make a meeting, you can still catch up by reading the weekly PTO Corner of the Homelink email, using our website, or checking our monthly meeting minutes posted.

Other Fundraisers throughout the year:

Sales Based Fundraisers like.. 

Spirit Wear Sale, Dine to Donate, Basket Raffle Ticket Sales, etc

Event-based fundraisers like…

The Pumpkin Fair, Family Nights (Roller Kingdom, River Hawks, etc) & more

News

Our wonderful South Row PTO Treasurer, Courtner Cooper, is looking for a shadow to take over for her next year. Courtney’s youngest will be off to middle school and we will miss her immensely, but she wants to help a new member shadow this year to get a lay of the land. Curious what a Treasurer does?
