The Crocker Farm PGO maintains this website as well as a facebook page to keep families informed about school & PGO events.
The PGO's mission is to enhance our children's educational and social experience by:
* Planning events that bring us together as a school community
* Sponsoring activities to raise funds for equipment, supplies, special school events, field trips, scholarships, and mini-grants for teachers
* Finding ways to show our appreciation and support of our teachers and staff
Volunteering at Crocker Farm
There are lots of ways to help out at Crocker Farm. Many of the school's great events and activities would not be possible without volunteers, and volunteering for even an hour or two makes a big difference to our school. Please print out the paper version of the volunteer form (link to volunteer form here) and return it to the school, or just email us at crockerfarmpgo@gmail.com and tell us how you'd like to get involved.
PGO Steering Committee
Members oversee the PGO activities for the school year, and help decide the PGO's funding and other priorities. Here is a link to a description of the role of the PGO Board and the Board member positions, and a summary list of the PGO's activities (PGO_Board_Description & List_of_PGO_activities). If you are interested in participating as a PGO board member, please email us at crockerfarmpgo@gmail.com.
