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 for your children to be a part of our amazing community!

 

I would like to first introduce myself, I am Megan Bush, and will be your PTO President for the upcoming school year! I have a daughter going into the 5th grade and this will be my 5th year serving on the PTO Board at Winstead.

 

The Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) helps to create a supportive partnership with our Winstead Staff, Families and the Franklin Community. We host several events throughout the year to celebrate our students and staff. We could not host such events without an incredible PTO board, committee chairs and many parent volunteers!

 

We also fundraise throughout the year to provide the school with various school materials, equipment, furniture and supplies. Many people don't realize that lots of our 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, a sound sytem and the cafeteria, new walkie talkies and a new mural in the front lobby and library. Most recently with our 2023 Color Run we raised enough money to refinish the gym floor and are beginning to replace student desks, chairs and tables in classrooms.

 

We would love to get you plugged into some of our many volunteer opportunites, from events like our color run, our family dance, talent show or dodgeball, to things like working in our school store, The Paw Patch, selling smoothies on Friday mornings or being an art or library helper. Visit our PTO website at http://winsteadpto.membershiptoolkit.com for more information or click here to see all 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 a new Instagram page at Winstead_Elementary_PTO.

 

I look forward to serving as your president for the 2023-24 year, please feel free to reach out if there is anything the PTO can do for your family!! 

 

Sincerely,

Megan Bush
Winstead PTO President
