PTO membership is a simple way to support our students and school! We offer several membership tiers, and you can think of your membership as a donation that helps fund the events, activities, programs, and experiences we provide throughout the year.

Membership does NOT require you to volunteer or attend PTO meetings. Of course, if you’d like to get involved, we’d love to have you!

🏆 Membership Incentives

• 250 schoolwide memberships: Students earn an extra recess!
• The primary and upper-grade teachers with the most memberships will each win an ice cream party! 🍦

Each membership includes one of each membership item (such as a shirt, yearbook, etc.). If you have multiple students and would like multiple items, you will need to purchase a separate membership for each set of items. Please note that each additional membership must be purchased in a separate transaction.

Thank you for supporting Plavan PTO and our Panthers! ❤️🖤

*Membership items will be delivered to your child's classroom by the end of October*

Our book fair is officially underway! Don’t forget to create your child’s e-Wallet for safe, easy, and cash-free shopping. It’s a convenient way for your child to shop independently while keeping spending simple.

Teacher Challenge!
The primary and upper-grade teachers with the most students who have an e-Wallet created by the end of the day on September 8 will each earn $50 in Scholastic Dollars to spend on their classroom!

Help your child get their eWallet set up and help your teacher win! 

Our first PTO meeting of the school year is Monday, September 21 at 4:30 PM in the Media Center!

Come hear what we have planned for the year, learn how you can get involved, and share your ideas with us. New and returning families are always welcome!

We hope to see you there!

Need an after-school treat? Join us at The Creative Ice Company on Wednesday, September 23 from 1pm-8pm for our first PTO dine out of the year!

Whether you’re in the mood for shave ice, cotton candy, or one of their delicious ice cream creations, there’s something for everyone. Even better, 20% of your purchase will be donated to Plavan PTO!

Bring the family, grab a sweet treat, and help support our Panthers! 

Get ready to run, walk, and get covered in COLOR on Saturday, September 26! 

Every entry helps raise money for our PTO and directly supports our students and school. The school with the most entries will win an amazing prize: a movie night hosted by the City’s Recreation Department! 

All in-person participants will receive:
👕 Official race shirt (register by September 14 to be guaranteed a shirt)
🏅 Finisher medal
📸 Finish line photo
🎥 Finish line video
🎪 Access to the post-race expo celebration

So grab your friends, bring your family, and be part of something bigger than a race. Together, we run with purpose—to bring hope, fund research, and help end pediatric cancer.

*Don't forget to choose Plavan Elementary PTO as your team!

Thank you for continuing to support Plavan PTO and the programs and experiences we’re able to provide for our students. We’re so excited to kick off another fantastic school year with all of you.

There are so many ways to get involved and support our school! Volunteering doesn’t always mean big commitments. It can be as simple as calling or emailing local businesses for donations, making copies, or helping with small tasks that make a big difference. We encourage you to check out our website for current volunteer opportunities and see how you can lend a hand. Please remember that all volunteers must be cleared through the front office if they are going to be working on campus.
