How to get involved:
It takes a village, and everyone can participate! Here are just some of the ways you can take an active role in enhancing your students' elementary experience by participating in PTO:
Lend your Voice: Attend PTO Meetings
PTO meetings are held on the first Tuesday of each month at 7pm. All parents and caregivers are encouraged to attend and provide input on yearly events and priorities. Minutes from past meetings can be found here.
Join our Strategic Team: Serve on Our Board
***Spring 2025 Important Update: Many of our board positions are coming up vacant for the 2025-2026 year due to families 'graduating' to Davis Middle School. These board positions are essential to the success of Olde Sawmill's PTO and the continued existence of the vibrant social events, strong staff support, and diverse academic enrichment opportunities that depend on us. Please strongly consider serving in one of the following ways by talking to any of our current Board members: Ben Opperman, Katie Ayers, Mike Castro, or Ashley Oliver.
Board positions for the upcoming year will be voted on at the May PTO meeting. You can find full role descriptions here:
Volunteer Your Time: Join an Event Committee
We support students, families, and staff in a variety of ways throughout the year - run solely by parent volunteers. Each of these events is coordinated by their respective committees. The BEST way that you can volunteer is by participating in one of our many committees. Unfortunately, the reality is that if we don't have enough parent volunteers for the following committees, we are at risk of not being able to hold that event for our students, staff, and families.
2025-2026 Event Committees include:
Financially Support PTO Priorities
Everything we do for students', their families, and OSE teachers, staff, and admin is funded by PTO fundraisers and donation drives held throughout the school year. In addition to our social events and staff appreciation, PTO underwrites Principal and Teacher Classroom funds, and disperses grants for academic enrichment opportunities, including visiting artists/authors, building beautification projects, playground equipment and field trips (just to name a few). From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for your financial support, it means so much to our OSE family.
Like our social and staff appreciation events, our fundraisers are volunteer-driven through committees. Consider participating in one of the following committees:
2025-2026 Fundraising Committees:
Thank you again to ALL of the parents, caregivers, teachers, and staff that continue to go above and beyond in support of our students and OSE family. On behalf of the PTO Board, we thank you.
