Temple Emanu-El PTO
The PTO joined forces with Chesed to make latkes on for all our Chanukah events. A good time was had by all at the annual PTO-hosted Chanukah party!
We are looking for ideas for informational/inspirational posters in our bathrooms; we will gladly accept input.
We hope students are gearing up for a new calendar year because the PTO is holding a read-a-thon to support students’ and teachers’ continued love of reading. The event will run from Sunday, January 5, through Sunday, February 2; we hope for 100% participation, as each student and teacher who reads a Jewish book (author or storyline) will earn a Barnes and Noble gift card. Details will be announced and distributed through classrooms.
The PTO will once again be hosting an Ice Cream Sundae Party, on Sunday, February 2, at 12 noon. The PTO will provide the ice cream and everything you need to make your own sundaes. Family and friends are encouraged to bring a dairy or pareve picnic lunch, blankets, and games.
We are always looking for new members to join our already awesome group of parent volunteers. Please consider joining. Thank you.
