PTO
Our Mission:
The PTO at St. Joseph's Elementary School maintains a close working relationship between parents, teachers/staff, and students. Our goal is to enhance the educational experience by supporting the students and teaching staff through fundraising efforts to provide additional equipment, services, and special projects. A strong PTO is evidence of parental interest and does ensure a better school environment for our children.
Our PTO holds meetings to discuss and implement the ideas of the parents and teaching staff.
School-Wide Bucket Filling Program
We are thrilled to introduce our school-wide Bucket Filling program! This program is a nationwide program designed to improve social & emotional learning at school. It is based on a simple concept where we each have an invisible bucket with the singular purpose of holding good thoughts and feelings about ourselves. When we are happy and good to others, our buckets become full. When we are sad or not nice to others, our buckets become empty. We become “bucket fillers” when we are nice to others. But when we make someone feel bad, we become “bucket dippers”. Bucket dippers dip into both of our buckets.
This program focuses on teaching important character traits such as kindness, empathy, and respect. Throughout the school year, our students have the opportunity to participate in various assemblies and activities centered around these traits. We believe by emphasizing positive behaviors, we can create a safe and supportive environment for all students.
We are proud to recognize our students who have shown bucket filling behaviors as recommended by their teachers. Mrs. Dupree meets with each student to appreciate their positive character traits. The student's pictures are placed in our lobby for our school community to admire!
Congratulations To Our Bucket Fillers!
Our students are being recognized for their positive character traits!
