What does a PTO Member do?
The Desert Sage PTO serves to support the school, to enrich our students’ experiences, and to bring together our community. We welcome all parents’ input and involvement. How would you like to help?
If I sign up to be a member, do I have to go to meetings and volunteer?
Not at all! We are happy if you just want to show your support through your membership. This will ensure you are on our mailing list for updates about events and minutes from our meetings. You can also help by getting the word out when we have fundraisers.
I work full-time, and it is hard for me to volunteer time. What else can I do?
You can support the PTO's work by taking advantage of our fundraisers, donating supplies for events, or simply making a monetary contribution directly to the PTO.
I would like to volunteer, but I don't know what I could do! How do I start?
Just send us an email! We have so many fun events coming up this semester, we will take all the help we can get!!
