We as Hollywood PTO are supportive of the school mission statement: Hollywood Super Stars (Share, Try their best , Act appropriately, Respect everyone, Succeed as lifelong learners.

  4. PTO Mythbusters Myth: The PTO is just for stay-at-home moms. FACT: The PTO is for everyone! Our volunteers are mothers, fathers and those who fill those roles. We have a wide range of volunteers who: stay-at-home; work part-time to full-time; have little ones at home, preschoolers, high schoolers and/or college students. Myth: Volunteering for the PTO takes too much time. FACT: Only YOU can decide how much time you can give. Even if you can help at just one event or handle one task per year, it would be greatly appreciated. Myth: The PTO has the same volunteers year after year and everyone knows each other. FACT: While we are fortunate to have dedicated volunteers who return, we also welcome new ones every year. We do strike up friendships and enjoy getting to know one another. This year, we already have several new Committee Chairs and volunteers, and we have not all met each other yet. Our volunteers range from Kindergarten to 5th grade parents, so it’s a great chance to get to know parents from other grades you may not have met otherwise.

  5. Myth: The PTO is all set with their activities and events for the year. FACT: Each year, the PTO brings back favorites and tries new activities, fundraisers and events. Those new ideas come from volunteers. For example, a volunteer thought it would be great to have teacher wish book and made it happen. This resulted in the donation of a NEW refrigerator for the staff lounge. While we try to plan ahead, it’s only the beginning of the school year and there’s still plenty of time to do even more for the students and school this year. And we want you to be a part of it all!
