On behalf of our school’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO), I’d like to welcome you to the 2022-23 school year. Our new board members and I are looking forward to an exciting year. As we transitioned back from the unprecedented times of the past couple years, we look forward to welcoming all our families back in the halls and classrooms of St. Maria Goretti.
On a personal note, I wanted to share a few things about myself. I have three children, Eli, Olive and Leo who have attended SMG School since preschool. My husband works in Agriculture sales for Land O’ Lakes and travels around the Midwest. You will often catch our family at sporting events cheering on our Angels. You can also find us at Purdue or Illini sporting events throughout the year. Before I was a stay-at-home mom, I worked in Pike Township as a 5th grade teacher.
The responsibility of PTO is to support our students, teachers, and staff through events of service, faith, social gatherings, and fund-raising opportunities. PTO puts on many exciting events throughout the year with the love and support of the awesome parents at SMG. We truly couldn’t do this without you! We encourage you to commit your time and talents to some PTO events this upcoming school year.
There are many ways to stay connected to PTO throughout the year. We welcome you to join us at our PTO meetings the second Thursday of each month at 8:00 am in the cafeteria. Our first meeting will be held on Thursday, August 18th. The SMG PTO Facebook page is another good way to stay informed about events happening in and around school.
As always, thank you for supporting our events and programs at SMG. I cannot wait to see you all soon! I’m looking forward to our first day back on Wednesday, August 10, 2022. If you’re looking for ways to help or have any questions, please feel free contact me. Saint Maria Goretti – Pray for us!
