CES parents maintain a robust PTO that, while independent of the school, encourages ongoing faculty/staff participation at their monthly meetings, usually taking place at on the second Thursday 7:30-8:30am in the art room. Their goals are to support CES programs, expand student learning opportunities, and improve school climate. Their fundraising efforts allow them to offer grants from faculty/staff three times a year. 2018-19 PTO Board members include:
President: Kerrie Mathes
Treasurer: Kath Laing
Co-Vice-Presidents: Vanessa Berman (Yearbook), Kathleen Laramee (Volunteer Coordinator)
Secretary: Jessica Blackman
PTO IT: Erica Housekeeper
District Liaison: Katlyn Morris
Member at Large: Rebecca Grannis
Teacher Representatives: Tammy Charbonneau (Physical Education) and Betsy Patrick (Third Grade)
Principal: Dorinne Dorfman
The PTO coordinates an optional family directory for all who choose to be included. There is also an email list that everyone is welcome to join. Information about these opportunities will be sent home at the beginning of the year. Please visit the PTO website https://champlainelementarypto.wordpress.com or the Facebook page, “Champlain Elementary PTO,” for more information and happenings.
