Mission Statement: The purpose of our organization is to aid the students of Unionville Elementary School by providing support for their educational and recreational needs; promoting open communication between the administration, teachers and parents; enhancing the educational facilities and opportunities that are not otherwise provided for in the school corporation budgets; and encouraging parent and community involvement in the public schools.

PTO meetings are held on the second Tuesday of every month from 6:30 to 7:30 p.m. in the Unionville Elementary cafeteria. Child care is provided free of charge.

Through the support of the principal, teachers, and parent volunteers along with donations from Unionville families and from the community, Unionville PTO is proud to be able to sponsor many programs and events:

PTO Open House – This is a chance for parents to meet their child’s teachers and tour the school. This event is usually held each September.

Chili Supper and Craft Fair – A community event and fundraiser held each November

Spring Carnival – Join us in May for lots of fun on the cake walk, playing midway-style games, bidding on an auction item, and dinner in the cafeteria. One of our most successful fundraisers and truly the highlight of the year!

Sixth grade graduation – A ceremony the last evening of the school year commemorating seven years at Unionville Elementary.

Field Day – Held on the last day of school, this is a chance for all students to have fun and celebrate another year of hard work and learning!

Teacher appreciation days – This is a chance for PTO members and volunteers to do something special to show our appreciation to the school staff. Activities are held throughout the year. Examples include lunches held during Parent-Teacher Conferences in November and a special luncheon the day before Winter Break. Different chairs are utilized throughout the year.

Volunteer opportunities

Parents make a difference! Research has shown that the more involved you are as a parent in your child’s education, the higher the student’s academic performance. If you are interested in volunteering, we have opportunities for you to help! We have short and long term projects during both the day and evenings! You can commit to as little or as much as you want. Please contact Lisa Davis if you are interested in volunteering. WE APPRECIATE OUR VOLUNTEERS!
