Edmunds Elementary PTO
Parent Teacher Organization
As the temperatures begin to drop and we sort through our kids’ winter gear to see what fits and what needs to be replaced, please remember to set aside any items you might be able to donate to this year’s coat and gear swap.
November 11: The PTO will begin collecting new or gently used (still in good condition) items: coats, snow pants, gently used boots, and accessories (no hats, please).
Donations can be dropped off at the school’s main entrance.
Remember, you don’t have to give to get.
Room Parents are needed for most classrooms: If you are interested in becoming a room parent for your child’s grade, please consider volunteering for this fun job! As a room parent, you communicate and coordinate classroom assistance to promote parent/family involvement in class and schoolwide activities such as classroom celebrations and field trips.
If you are interested in volunteering or have questions about this role, please email Gretchen Platt at [email protected] or talk with your child’s classroom teacher.
Thank you!
The EES Community Traditions Night is being held Friday, November 8, 6-8 pm. This event celebrates the diverse traditions that enrich our community and includes a POTLUCK dinner, as well as a variety of performances and activities. Please join the school community for food tastings, music, art, and fun!
Ways to contribute to the evening:
POTLUCK signup: The potluck begins at 6:00 pm, bring your food to the cafeteria at 5:30. Please consider making a favorite dish to share. Sign up here to let the school know what you will be bringing.
VOLUNTEER signup: The school needs a few parent volunteers to join the teachers who will be helping with set-up, running food and activity tables, and clean up. Please sign up here to help out.
COUNTRY/CULTURAL DISPLAY/ACTIVITY signup: Throughout the evening there will be music, dance, and art performances. There will also be country and cultural tables to visit. In the past, families have set up arts and crafts, a tortilla making station, flags, photos, clothing, stories, games, language writing, and performed dance and music.

We are looking for teams of people to organize and coordinate PTO events this year (2024-25). We have specific how-to documents to support you. Gretchen, Irene, and Eric are also available to assist. The PTO has funds to support these events, so there is no monetary cost to you. Thank you for your consideration. Please reach out with questions. Thank you!
