PTOToday

Here's what parent group leaders had to say about last year's Back2School program!

"Thank you PTO Today for offering this wonderful program. Our volunteer membership has increased and we are seeing new faces at our monthly meetings, increased volunteering and more interest in events. We had challenges going into this year and your generosity enabled us to start the school year strong. It felt like we had someone out there supporting us. Thank you!"

"This program was great! The PTO was praised for taking the time to sign up for this program & it really did provide wonderful useful information to our parents. It's nice to receive something you can actually use and be proud to distribute!"

"We really enjoyed passing out the magazines and gift packs. I know it really helped promote the PTO for our school. Great idea and program! Thanks again!"

"The parents loved the gift packs and it was another way to get our name out there and encourage volunteers for the upcoming school year."

"I love any opportunity to hand parents good information that will support them at home as they help their students. Many are grateful for the info and are eager to learn how to help their kids!"

"I honestly think you guys are on the mark with everything. The magazine is informative to both new and no-so-new parents. The gift packets are combination of new and familiar items."

"The magazine is a great tool, with the ideas, graphics and stories. The saving coupons turned out to be a big success and the planning guide helped me get ready and create something unique for my school."

"I always appreciate the opportunity to hand these information packets out. The free items bring parents to our tables and gives great conversation starters to get their interest in school information activities and other help/interest areas. Thank you!"

"Parents LOVED getting all these goodies at our Back to School night. It was an added bonus! We handed the magazines and freebies out at the table where our PTO was collecting dues and handing out school information. It definitely grabbed the parents' attention! Thanks for helping to make the night extra special!"

"The magazines & gift packs were great to keep parents busy before our back-to-school night event began. We also gave a set to each teacher. Thank you for the opportunity to share!"

"It was nice to have some free gift packs and copies of Jump In! magazine to give away! Giving something out at events that is a freebie is always appreciated!"

"We kicked off our Back to School Night with a "Star Wars" themed Book Fair and we passed out the Jump In! magazines and gift packs to our families as they checked in. The gift packs were a wonderful source of information. Giving out freebies will always enhance any school night and these were just the trick."
