Teacher appreciation done well is a great way to put your parent group on the road to success. We think it's so important that we are hosting a Twitter chat to brainstorm teacher appreciation ideas.

So here's the scoop:

What: We'll be using hashtag #PTOtalk to talk about all things Teacher Appreciation!
Where: On Twitter, of course! Party on our Custom Tweetgrid (Use hashtag #PTOtalk)
When: Wednesday, October 6th, 2PM EST (1PM CET, 12noon GMT, 11 PST) - 3:30PM
Why: To have some fun brainstorming creative ways to show teachers appreciation
Who: We'll be hosting the party (@PTOtoday & @TimPTO) and will be joined by our friends from VolunteerSpot: @Volunteerspot @VspotMom
Featured Guests:  @CarissaRogers @TeachMama @ZiggityZoom @SmartPlayBlog ... and you!

This topic is too good to miss. If you don't know how to use Twitter, don't let that keep you away. Check out this blog post on Twitter basics:  http://www.ptotoday.com/ptoblog/organize-your-group/2010/02/09/how-to-use-twitter-to-build-parent-involvement/

Hint: it's pretty simple! Even if you are new to Twitter and are not ready to jump into the conversation you can "listen in" by going to Twitter and searching on #PTOtalk at 1PM EST on October 6th.
