ALP PTO, Inc: Our Parent Teacher Organization
ALP Families, Teachers, and Staff, this is the Parent Teacher Organization, and we would love for YOU, with all your individual talents and wisdom, to join us! There are so many different roles to play, big or small. Many of our leadership roles have volunteers running the show, but they still need the help of volunteers to make their role/event thrive! Tell us your interests/giftings/availabilit
The ALP PTO Board meets the first Thursday of every month. Come one come all!!! If any chairpersons cannot come to the meeting, they can instead submit a report to update their overseeing V.P. (V.P. of Operations or V.P. of Activities) beforehand so the V.P. can update the rest of the PTO board concerning that role.
