The Dogwood PTO is currently accepting nominations for the 2018-19 school year. We need creative, committed and energetic volunteers to serve our students, teachers and families. Please consider nominating yourself or someone you know for a board position. Board meetings are held once a month.
Not sure what position might be right for you?
- Are you organized and detail-oriented? Consider Treasurer, Assistant Treasurer or Membership/Directory.
- Do you love making photo books and capturing memories? Then Yearbook is for you!
- Do you love making sure our little ones are healthy and happy? Then Health and Wellness might be what you are looking for.
- Do you love event planning? If so, one of our events positions might be just the fit (e.g. Family Movie Night, Book Fair, Field Day, etc.).
If you would like more information about any board position, feel free to contact Alison Fondaw or any current board member.
