About Us
The mission of Winstead Elementary PTO is to support the education of the children at Winstead Elementary School by providing enrichment opportunities beyond the basic classroom setting; foster relationships between the parents, teachers, and staff in an effort to achieve the best possible education for every student; promote community among our children, parents, and school staff.
We live out that mission by providing our school with various educational materials and enrichment activities. Whether it is providing a classroom set of laptop computers or funding a science program, these opportunities would not be possible without our Winstead Parents. Therefore, the PTO strives to provide the most effective communication possible so that our school community knows about upcoming events and volunteer opportunities. We seek to create a partnership between parents, administrators, teachers, and students where everyone feels included and is part of the success of the Winstead family.
Our best resource in providing timely and relevant information is our PTO website. This site provides extensive information on what’s happening at Winstead Elementary School with features such as an events calendar, detailed events information, volunteer information, and much, much more! It is our goal for this site to be the first stop for our families to use in order to stay up-to-date on everything going on at Winstead, so please visit often.
In addition to our website, we will be using Facebook and Instagram to share pertinent information. We post important news and reminders on school events to these pages on a regular basis, so be sure to “Like” and “Follow” us!

President's Letter
Welcome to Winstead! We are so excited to have you as part of our family.
My name is Tiffany Hicks, and I will be your PTO President for the upcoming school year. I am the proud parent to two amazing Wildcats. I have a son entering 4th grade, as well as a son entering 1st grade. This school year will mark my third year as a PTO representative.
The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) exists to create a supportive partnership with our Winstead Staff, Families, and the Franklin Community. Our goal is to not only be hands and feet that serve our wonderful school, but to also be a source of information, guidance, and encouragement. We host several events throughout the year to celebrate the hard work of both our students and staff. These events are only successful with the relentless work of an incredible PTO board, committee chairs and the many dedicated parent volunteers that faithfully show up time and time again.
One of our largest endeavors each school year is fundraising. We organize and oversee two big fundraisers (fall and spring) with the goal of providing the school with various school materials, equipment, furniture, and supplies. While the county covers numerous operational costs, most parents are not aware that many of Winstead's very basic school needs are provided by the PTO. In past years we have purchased all new teacher desks for every classroom, library furniture, tablets for all classroom teachers, PE equipment, new walkie talkies, refinished the gym floor, as well as replacing student desks. Most recently with our 2024 Spring Color Run we raised enough money to purchase 11 brand new smartboards for classrooms that were not equipped with one. When you donate to our fundraisers, feel proud that you are helping to contribute to such wonderful additions and updates that benefit our children.
We would love to get you plugged into some of our many volunteer opportunities. From events like our color run and our family dance, talent show and field day, or even helping the cafeteria or library, your involvement is deeply appreciated. Our school bookstore, The Paw Patch, is always a favorite for families to help out in! Whether you have an hour or an entire day, there is always a need for our parent volunteers. Visit our PTO website at http://winsteadpto.membershiptoolkit.com for more information or click here to see all of our upcoming opportunities to help.
You can also follow us on social media. We post a lot of information about school activities on these pages. We have a Facebook page, Winstead Elementary PTO as well as an Instagram page, Winstead_Elementary_PTO.
I look forward to serving as your president for the 2024-2025 year. Please feel free to reach out if there is anything the PTO can do for your family!!
Sincerely,
Tiffany Hicks
Winstead PTO President
