If you cannot attend the monthly PTO meetings, there are many other ways to get involved with PTO.  Below you will find a link to the Stanton Parent Volunteer Form and the Stanton Volunteer Handbook.  The Parent Volunteer Form is used to gather contact information and volunteer interests for each family.  Please review the Volunteer Handbook and find the committee/activities that fit your interests and schedule.  Fill out the volunteer form and turn it in to the office.  Opportunities will also be listed monthly in our PTO Newsletter, Hoofprints.  Also, at any time during the school year, please feel free to contact one of the PTO board members to let them know you would like to volunteer.  We look forward to hearing from and working with you!
