Election Time!

Due to the current Pandemic and the uncertainty of everything, meetings and elections had been put aside however we still need to elect a new board for the next school year. We may not be able to fundraise or host large events, but we can still be there to support our school, our students, our families, and our community to the best of our abilities available.

Are you interested in becoming more involved in your student’s campus and with Glenn York Elementary PTO? Consider serving as a board member or as a member rep next year. Or, do you know someone who you feel would be a great addition to the PTO? We are taking nominations now for the 2020-2021 PTO Board and Member Representative positions. In the past, the board has consisted of parents from a variety of backgrounds including: full-time healthcare workers, stay-at home moms, entrepreneurs, telecommunications, and realtors. We are a hard-working cohesive group with the main goal of making Glenn York the best school around!

All nominations must be in by Friday, June 12th and will be voted on via a Google Form ballot, and the new Board will be announced on Wednesday, June 24^th, 2020. We will post the ballot on our Facebook, email blast and ask Principal Hicks to send out on weekly email blast.

To run for a board position, please read through the board position descriptions, read the by-laws, and complete the nomination Google form.
