Crocker PTO

Interested in what we do? All parents/guardians are welcome to attend meetings! You do not have to be a part of the board or a committee to come and participate, but we can always use the help on committees!

We are looking for one or more people to help with family activities. This person/s would help coordinate events/family spirit nights with businesses. Please reach out to Crocker.pto@gmail.com if you are interested in helping.

Dough Co. Spirit Event

Support the PTO by dining in or ordering carryout through Dough Co. on 12/4/23 from 11am – 9pm. The PTO receives 20% of all sales which will go directly toward future family activities!

Open Gym

Let the kids burn some energy during open gym on December 9th from 2pm – 4pm. Bring your own balls, hula-hoops, and jump ropes to get in on the fun!

Treat-A-Teacher and Suprise-A-Staff

The Crocker PTO would like to make sure that our teachers/staff know how much we appreciate everything that they do for our students!!  We ask that you donate $20 via Venmo or Square to the Crocker PTO and then sign up for the teacher/staff you’d like to surprise in the Sign-Up Genius below. The Crocker PTO will then purchase a gift card for each Crocker teacher/staff this December. Please donate and sign up by Friday, December 8th.
