PTO Today

Hi Wendy-
Sounds like you have a frustrating situation but the right attitude: stay positive! DLF offers some great advice, in terms of having a frank conversation and reminding the "pot-stirrers" that you are all there for the good of your children. Unfortunately, she's also right that these people are not going to go away or change over night. Thought of two articles that will hopefully help you deal with the situation and keep your sanity : )

Good for you for pressing for a meeting and working it out! We all have a few negative nellies in our group-- keep being positive and uplifting to your parents as a whole. Good luck in turning these 2 around--- I'm sure you'll be able to make a positive impact.

The only meeting place our PTA has is the staff lounge.
I just make sure i get things done before 11am.
If i still have stuff to do i come back at 1pm when teachers are usually done eating. Sometime we use the library . I just ask the librarian when she will not have a kids. Maybe we should do a fundraiser to get our own space.
Good Luck with everything
