Crocker Farm’s Parent Guardian Organization is expanding its board for the upcoming year. With redistricting, it is more important than ever to include voices in our leadership reflecting the diversity of our school’s population. Please consider suggesting yourself or another Crocker Farm parent/guardian you think would be a good volunteer for one of these board positions; decisions will be made in early October.
Co-Chair – two year position. Presides with two other co-chairs at general and executive board meetings, acts as a liaison with the principal, and supervises the work of the PGO executive board. (Short description for a lot of work and responsibility but really rewarding job!)
Social Activities Coordinator – one year position. Oversees events such as monthly “Coffee with the Principal” and movie night, as well as once-a-year activities such as ice cream social and “One World Festival.” New ideas are warmly welcomed.
Fundraising Coordinator – one year position. Directs PGO fundraisers from “Box Tops for Education” to bake sales and everything in between! Just because we haven’t done it before doesn’t mean we’re not open to other fundraising ideas. And similarly, simply because we did it last year doesn’t mean it has to be done again this year.
Secretary – one year position. Responsible for taking minutes at meetings, keeping the PGO calendar, and managing the blog.
All board members steer the direction of the various projects and participate in them as needed. The work is fun, rewarding, and challenging…kind of like parenting.
We need new ideas and new blood to support our teachers, as well as sustain and enhance the events and programs we have provided in the past. Perhaps we can incorporate new events and programs in the future? It’s up to you.
Please let us know if you are interested in any of the above mentioned positions. Better yet, grab a friend and volunteer together! To suggest someone, please email the PGO at crockerfarmpgo@gmail.com. The PGO is a great way to meet other parents, get to know the terrific CF teachers and staff, and see what's going on in your child's school life. Even if you don't assume a leadership role, there may be one event that appeals to you in the coming school year. Volunteer for just that one! Any and every parent/guardian is welcome for any and all PGO events. Every parent/guardian at Crocker Farm is a member of the PGO. Many people working together lighten the load and make our school community stronger.
Please feel free to contact us with any questions.
